Trying to get to China...

So...we got the airport at the right time--we even got to hang in the Northwest Club for a bit (I made a coffee/hot chocolate drink that was AWESOME), the flight was prepared for take off at the right time...and then they had an issue. Why wouldn't they? Gotta have an issue! 

Some dumbo mistakenly placed some luggage on our flight that wasn't supposed to be there. It took them 2 hours to get it sorted out so we got off to to a very late start (that sucked). We had these crazy reclining seats, warm towels, great food and lots of movies to choose from in 1st class though (that didn't suck).  

After 15 hours on the plane, we landed in Tokyo to find that we did indeed miss our flight to China. We went through immigration (always a fun line) and customs, found our shuttle, and we're now at a Radisson hotel about 20 minutes from the airport. We're going to try again tomorrow at 7:30 A.M to get to China, so keep your fingers crossed. 

We're going to take some ambien now. Jet lag blows.
SAYONARA!

The drink you made -- c'mon now, is known as the "BEANI." The perfect mix.

My excitement for you guys is through the roof. Fu Lan is going to be the new queen of Manistee!

Love you guys, and all the positivity in the world to you and Fu!

Do you think that was Floyd's last ditch effort at staying an only child? Hope you're on your way and enjoying the egg rolls.

Now we know what they mean by "taking the slow boat to China". Great planning on your part to go early! Smart!! Hope you at least checked out Tokoyo!
We're headed up north this weekend.
It won't be as much fun without you guys there.(Long live the Riv!) The girls at What to Wear will miss you! We are bringing up Little Tykes in the back seat, for FuLan, with Zeke...hope he doesn't eat it.
Hugs and Kisses XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
