Travel Day (Cont.)
Airport Check-in and waiting to board
Newark Airport
The Flight to China
The 13 hour flight took us north over Canada, Greenland, about 140 miles from the North Pole (didn’t see Santa), then over Russia, and on to China.
We had 138 people on Continental, and 53 people on the United flight, and both arrived in Beijing at about the same time.
Beijing Airport
On the road to Chengde
It started off foggy (and perhaps a bit smoggy)….then the rain storm began...
…but most didn’t notice.
An interesting omen was found in a pack of gum
A pit stop (literally) at the halfway point to Chende
Finally after a 4 hour drive, we arrived at our hotel in Chengde. We settled down for a late dinner and early bed
time. After all, wake up calls were coming at 4:30 AM.
