Traveling

on the way...

(Me and cutie Chuck at the airport)
( Beijing from the plane- i'll set up another site with all my photos and post it here as soon as i get to it)

I love flying. Or, well, I used to love flying before I spent 13 hrs on a flight. I think I can tolerate 7 hrs. That's it. Then I start to go crazy.

So yes, Ray, there is a direct flight from Toronto to China. We flew straight up over St James Bay and over the North pole then down over Siberia and into China (I may have missed some places along the way- they played Miss Congeniality 2).

(photo above)I left Chuck at the airport at 7:15am (almost the last person on the plane) and got into T.O. around 9. Flight to Beijing was delayed by 4 hrs (BOOOO). BUT, they did offer a 50$ credit with Air Canada over the next year- no use to me- and no, Mom, it's not transferable :)

So, it was daylight for a very long time- from 7am in Montreal- straight thru the 13 hr flight to Beijing and then still for about 4 hrs after getting in to China. I'm pretty sure my circadian rythm is ALL messed up by now.

So, I'll be spending the next couple of weeks in Beijing- but I am off to Xian this weekend, to check out the Terracotta(sp) warriors- among other things.. I will post when I get back

So far this is my first entry. I hope you will check in every once in a while to see where this adventure will take me..
