We made it to Tokyo

Well we made it to Tokyo and everything went fine. Even though we weren't able to upgrade to Business Class (it was full), we were able to get very good seats towards the back of the plane. There was a center row open, so C was even able to stretch out and sleep for awhile. What a LONG flight! We left JFK at noon, and since we were flying west the sun never went down. So now it is Monday at 5:30pm here, and just starting to get dark, but our bodies are telling us it is 4:30am. Hopefully we'll be able to get some sleep on this next flight going into Guangzhou (another 5hrs on the plane...!). But other than being tired, we're doing fine.

The Tokyo airport is nice. We're in the international terminal, and since we have a connecting flight to China we didn't have to go through customs. Our bags were checked through all the way to Guangzhou too, which was convenient.

Our next challenge will be to get from the GZ airport to the White Swan hotel, where we will be staying for the whole trip. Tomorrow...Meeting N!

I uploaded new pictures here.
