Hi From Shanghai,

We made it !! So happy to be off the airplane. Samantha was great - we had TV's right in front of us with 300 movies to pick from. I think we watched 4 or 5 movies - 14 hour flight is very long and the movies were a great way to kill time.

It took a while to get thru customs and we had to wait a bit for our luggage so we did not get to our hotel till 4:00pm. Our hotel is very nice and about 1 hour from the airport. WE will return to the airport tomorrow for a 12:00 flight to Nanchang where we hope to meet Grace in the late afternoon.

Lots of cars on the road in Shanghai as well as bicycles and mopeds. Most people I saw were not even wearing helmets - even with children on the back as a passenger. Lots of tall buildings and homes where people hang all their clean laundry from their windows to dry.

We were hoping to go for a nice dinner tonight but Samantha has already fallen asleep and Paul is not far behind her.

Here are a few pictures from Shanghai. I hope I can sleep tonight I am soooo excited about tomorrow!!

Love, Maria
