We are here!

We got an early start Friday morning and took a hotel shuttle to the International terminal at SFO. Since we were leaving at 11:00 am the terminal was empty, no lines at security and very easy. Our friends Karen and Emi arrived from Salt Lake about 9 am and met us at our gate. We also met two other families that were traveling on our flight. Although long, 12 hours, the flight was easy. I think I watched four movies, did some reading and took about an hour nap. Diana unfortunately had a queazy stomach most of the flight, but she did sleep quite a bit. We landed a few minutes early, had an short line to get through customs and found our group when we exited. We took a bus to our hotel and are now relaxing and getting organized. Diana wanted to relax and rest her stomach, so we passed on the walk to the nearby grocery store. We are not in a "tourist" area, so there are no sights to walk to. We have a meeting at 7:30 tonight to meet everyone (about 100 people) and review our schedule for tomorrow.
We are so excited that Emi, Diana and Hannah are back together in China, and can't wait until Marissa joins us in Yangzhou in a few days.
