And They're Off !!!

Finally finished packing at 8:00am this morning. It's now about 8:30am, and we pick up Karen at 9:00am. Merrilee called and said she's safely secured at the Harbor Steps and we'll meet her at about 11:00am for a limo ride to the airport. We depart Seattle at 2:10pm for Narita, Japan and then on to Beijing arriving Friday night at 10:30pm. Hope to post another entry when we arrive at our hotel in Beijing, the Joy City Hotel. It's located about 1-1/2 blocks from Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Imperial Palace. Lots of Kodak moments.
