We have arrived....
Hello to you all! We arrived safely about an hour ago to our hotel in Beijing. Everyone did great on the flights, including Beth. Of course we all made a bet on whose bag would get searched first going through security...the boys won, it was Beth's both times....and security even chose her to do the full body search.....unbelievable. The boys were most impressed with their visit to the cockpit of our 747. We were most shocked by the fact that in Japan you can actually board the plane with a hand held lighter yet they would not let us take peanut butter on unless it was placed in a plastic bag....who would know. Of course, Pryce and Colin met a Chinese girl on the plane that they were both taken with....she taught them a few new Chinese words and they made her laugh a lot. It did not take our guide anytime to say to me "you have your hands full, one is a lot but two - they are busy" Anyway, thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers....we are so thankful to be here safe and sound.

Man your boys got to sit in the cockpit-how cool was that! Looks like you survived well on the trip over. Looking forward to following along on your amazing trip of a lifetime! Feel free to email me anytime during the trip even for the "silly" questions. I will be happy to help in any way I can.
Hi Beth and Boys! The Hatchers are praying for you and so excited to follow along! We are jealous. Would love to be there again!!! Have a great time! Amy, Will, Julia, Sam and Jaida
