After breakfast this morning, we finished packing up so we could meet Helen for our return trip to the Beijing airport.
We left Beijing around 1pm to fly to ChongQing (Emma's provincial city) and arrived around 3:30pm. Flying a domestic Chinese airline was a very interesting experience as we were the only white passengers - we are quite a sight wherever we are! I've never been on a plane flight as the passenger who did not speak the native language - I did NOT understand anything that was going on during the in-flight announcements.
We arrived in ChongQing, met our guide Michael and drove with him to check-in at our amazing hotel. We thought the hotel in Beijing was really nice - not true in comparison to this place!! Then Michael showed us around the mall complex next door to the hotel. They have a McDonald's, Papa John's Pizza, KFC, Dairy Queen and Starbucks! It's been really good for the boys to have some "comfort" foods. Tonight we enjoyed McDonald's as a family for around $10 - that could never happen in the USA!
Monday is Gotcha Day - finally!!
