Well, we're here. We left the Four Points Sheraton at 3:30 AM on Sunday, the 5th and arrived at our hotel, The St. Regis on Monday, June 5th around 7:15 pm. That would be 7:15 am at home on Monday, the 6th. It's all very confusing keeping the days and times straight. Our connections went very smoothly. The longest leg of course was from San Francisco to China. The flight was 11 hours, 55 minutes. It was pretty long and dad was about the only one that got any sleep.
Shanghai is the second largest city in China, 19 million people. The area we are in is very modern. Only 10 years ago all of the surrounding countryside was rice fields. The billboards are huge and very glitzy. The skyscrapers are all new and extremely modern. Most signs are in Chinese and English. There isn't a lot of traffic on the roads at this time of night. Bicycles are plentiful. The room at the hotel is beautiful and we are ready to shower and try to catch up on our sleep.
The tour director, Richard says we have a full day tomorrow. We leave at 8:30 and don't get back until 10:00 pm. On the agenda is a temple, welcome dinner, acrobats and more fun stuff!
Goodnight from China, the journey - Day1!!

And I thought driving back from NY was bad. We had one hitch with sending the bike to Montana, which I think we've solved.
Can't wait to hear about the river trips. Will you get to fish?
