This is a very rough, non-edited video clip, all to say WE'RE HERE!!! :)
No problem with the flights - just a very longggggggggggggggg day. We tested SKYPE already and it's working great. We talked (FREE) with Aly's BIL George in Maine and Mom who is house-sitting, complete with video. Too cool. Love SKYPE.
Full day of sightseeing scheduled for tomorrow and Sunday. Should be fun getting to know all the other families in our Travel Group.
Forever Day is scheduled for Tuesday, September 16! Can you say EXCITED!

Oh Aly & Ford, what a wonderful video memory you've made for your beautiful daughter. Keep up the documentation because it will all seem like a dream in about three weeks, and you won't be able to remember details in about three months...
So excited for you guys and your travel mates (and for those precious babies!!).
Oh My! What a wonderful way to communicate. The weather looks great out there. So looking forward to that Gotcha video! Thank you for sharing.
would call, but I bet you are sleeping by now. Talk to you soon. love you-Leaa
That was wonderful! I feel like I am in China all over again!!
After reading your blog for so long, it was neat to hear your voices. So happy you made it safely. Not much longer of imagining Alyzabeth! Congrats!
This is unbelievable! I feel like I'm right there with you - how exciting!
SO glad to see and hear that you all made it safe and sound. The video is great! It brought back memories of our trip[ for me. I think wehad tthe same seats on the United flight LOL..... Enjoy every moment of your time in China and give Alyzabeth a hug from her friends in DeLan
Ohhhhhh.. you just arrived my city. How exciting. Thanks for sharing your experience. Looking forward to see you holding Alyzabeth.

You guys are so clever! Posting video from China!!! Love it!
Gives me chills seeing you guys there! In the Beijing airport, I was thinking... I'VE BEEN THERE!!! (and obviously chapping at the bit to get back!!!)
Enjoy our timezone!!! (well... nearly our timezone!) Enjoy your "touring" of an amazing city. We are really really looking forward to Tues though!!!
That was wonderful! Happy touring :o)
Hooray! Glad you're there and safe and happy. Love the video. Can't wait to see more!!
I just have to laugh - as my "I am in Chicago" video has me sitting enjoying a BIG DC with ICE!!!!
Enjoy!

Alright!
So glad you made it to China safely. What a wonderful idea videotaping everything. I used a camera to let my mom see Isabel "live" that first night together. (We had to wait until late night so that she was awake, given the 12 hour difference.)
Cannot wait until Tuesday!!
We are all thinking of you guys here in Jax.
Much love,
Laureen and Isabel (who can hardly wait to have a friend close to her age!)

Just wanted you to know I giggled at Ford's video release comment.
YES! You must have release forms for all of the people you film. Seeing as how there are billions of people living in China and there are dozens in your travel group, I hope you brought lots of copies.
Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us. It brought back memories. (This is where I break into song. Better duck and cover. Glass will soon shatter.)
Great video! Have fun over the next few days.
Many familiar sights from only a few weeks ago. We're following daily.
Love y'all,
D, B, & JM
So glad the trip went well. Gotcha day will be here before you know it!
Yay, you made it there safe and sound! Love the video, what a great idea!
Have a wonderful day touring Beijing!
You guys are amazing!! So fresh looking after that flight!! You are going to be awesome parents to Alyzabeth! I am so very excited for you! It's incredible the emotions your video all brings back for us. Thanks for letting us share your joy!!! Have a fantastic time in Beijing!

LOVE your video, and I know that Alyzabeth will cherish being able to watch HER video one day. Blesssings as you begin this trip! I'll be watching!
So exciting! We used SKYPE while in China, as well, and never had a problem with it.
Soak it all in and enjoy every second!
Beyond excited for you!! The video clip where you showed the map of your plane heading to China gave me instant goose bumps! You're in the same country Alyzabeth An is and just 3 more sleeps she will be in your arms!
Love you. Praying for you.
I am SOOOO excited for you guys! It only gets better and better! Can't wait to check back on Tuesday. - Kathy
