| Judy and I in Orlando. waiting to start the long long flight to Dylan |
checked into the hotel, gave up sorting thru the suitcases, (was Dylan playing in here!!!) order in some food, and feel asleep. then woke up, didnt' to hunt thru the suitcases looking for the white noise machine. then had to hunt for the tiny black bags of adaptors, wait the wall outlets are all different, where is the outlet that matches my adaptor!!!? found that, by crawling around on the floor (still in the dark so i wouldn't wake up Judy) plugged in adaptor, that fit. plugged in white noise machine. awww sleep. 10 seconds later smelled the smoke. jumped out of bed, shut of machine and unplugged it from the wall. i had been warned by the agency that things with a heating element would burn, didn't think a WNM had a heating element. wondering if i can ship it back home along with the tons of warm weather clothing i don't need! but will most likely just shove it back in the suitcase somewhere.
very dry here. and it's super hot in the rooms. even with the heat off! okay 5am here and tired. planning our day: breakfast, walk, nap. lunch nap. shopping for formula... nap! then bedtime. maybe some dinner first.
will start taking pictures soon and upload those.

| View from our window at the Novotel Peace Hotel in Beijing. We're on the 13th floor. I guess they're not concerned with the 13th floor jinx! |

| Been up since 5am. time to get ready to explore a bit of the city! |
So Happy New Years to all. and in just a few short days, I'll finally have Dylan in my arms!!!!
I love the reflection of all your stuff! in the window of the picture of the view from your hotel room. It just sort of tells this beautiful, chaotic, juxtaposed-yet-harmonious story of the adventure you're on.
