We Made It To Chongqing
We made it to Chongqing! Honestly, it was a disaster at the Beijing airport.....so many people, I have never experienced anything like it....it was total chaos....people yelling at security, people shoving....of course I had a "Beth" moment and fussed at the people pushing poor Colin....I am not sure if the lady understood the words I said but she obviously knew to back off....it seems that the people here have no patience and they don't mind pushing people to get ahead, even it they are children....the poor little guy traveling with us was scared to death and started to cry....there was this rude business guy who shoved ahead of us and threw his laptop on the carousel, then ran through the security gate to wait on his laptop....I wasn't so nice, after he ran off, I put his laptop at the end of the line so he had to wait awhile....is that bad? Like I said, I was ticked off that they were pushing my children and at that moment we only had 5 minutes to catch our flight....we then ran to the last gate possible, got on the plane and took off....at that moment, we could all breathe a little better. So, we are here....we are on the 13th floor, not exactly my favorite number but the room is really nice....we walked in and saw the crib already set up and a stroller for us to use while we are here....it is becoming more and more real to us that this time tomorow we will have another member in our family....wow! Tonight we are going to a "Hot Pot" restaurant....Chongqing is especially known for this particular type of food and we hear that it tends to be on the spicey side of things. Take care everyone!

You are all in our prayers for Gotcha Day! The Hatchers
You definitely need to use your elbows at the airports in China. Hopefully the rest of the airport trips won't be quite so eventful!
Good for you with the briefcase!

Beth, I don't know you that well but I can definitely say that i am proud of you for putting that man's laptop at the end of the line! I said a little "whoo, yea" when I read that! LOL I may have wanted to do the same thing but I may have been chicken to do so. by the way you were probably taller than he was anyway(so I've read) :))
