Arrived

First, for all of you who are wondering, we have arrived safe and sound in Beijing. The last connecting from Tokyo to Beijing was a little delayed, but we arrived only a half hour late at about 10 pm local time. It was about midnight by the time we got settled into the hotel and were ready for sleep. All the luggage arrived with us, too. The hotel is ok but could be better. It is a little stuffy in the rooms as the air conditioning could be better. The beds are "solid" to put it kindly. It is the best we can do with the Olympics still running. Despite this everyone got a good first night sleep.
