Another Long Wait


Our flight from O'Hare ended up being delayed over 6 hours. We didn't leave Chicago until 7pm (we were originally scheduled to leave at 12:33pm). Apparently the airplane needed some maintenance and was eventually determined unable to be fixed. So we had to wait for the plane arriving from Shanghai to arrive before we could use it.
It was great getting to know the 5 other couples we'll be traveling with. We are a varied group for sure, and from all over the midwest. Our flight was thankfully uneventful, and we arrived in Beijing around 11pm or so. We were met at the airport by our agency guide, Joy, who will be with us through Nanning.

I've been checking frequently to make sure you guys made it with no hiccups (except Chicago). Glad you had a safe flight! We will be following your trip daily and everyone is excited for you to bring Ella home!

I was so happy to check this morning and see you made it to Beijing. One step closer to Ella - yeah!!!! Thanks for keeping us posted on your life changing journey. Megan is so excited to meet "baby" Ella. She loved the thank you note.
P.S. in case you were wondering work is super slow and there have been no issues.
