Happy to be off the plane and just waiting to hop on the terminal shuttle…
We had a delay leaving Tucson due to fog conditions in San Francisco which meant we had to take a later connecting flight and didn’t get into Beijing until 6 pm China time. We left Tucson at about 10 am on Tuesday the 19th and arrived at 6 pm on Wednesday the 20th due to the 15 hour time difference and 17 hours of travel time. That’s not including the extra hour and half delay at the start of our trip, or the time it took to get to our hotel. Needless to say we were pretty exhausted by the time we finally checked into our hotel! Didn’t have any Chinese money and the hotel restaurant closed early so we ended up just making due with some snacks (cheese and crackers, Slim Jims, grapes) to sustain us until the next morning. Our hotel is located in an area of the hutongs – which is what I have been comparing a bit to Tucson’s Mexican barrio neighborhoods. More on this later…
