my one top most souvenir of china is Pekin Duck..you can't miss it. it is the most delicious meal you can have in China.
 
How cool is that?!? It looks like a nice, easy itinerary. Ours was too. Makes life a lot easier. Our first trip was too packed with stuff to do and almost everyone got sick. The only thing I'd question is the flight arriving at 10 p.m. If you're not adjusted to China time yet, you'll be wanting to be in bed at that time an not at a plane - hopefully not delayed!! Lots of flights to CQ during the day. We arrived around 2 or maybe we left at 2 and arrived at 5. At least all the other flights are quite civilized too. And great that you get to see the orphanage!! Wow!! So exciting for you!!!

The rooms in Beijing are huge and the ones in CQ small. CQ is a baby hotel and very well equipped. The second floor restaurant is to die for but the #2 pizza at the restaurant will get you through in a pinch!!
 
It's nice to see it set out in dates. We miss you by one day on our drive to TO for Christmas, but we'll be thinking of you as you arrive home (and before, of course).
 
so exciting to see it written out where you will be and when....I can't wait to see you guys over there with baby Kate in your arms!

Scott: Packing is going to be scary for me too as I'm an over packer too - they say pack it once and then remove about half of what you pack then you should be good! lol!
 
Enjoy the Pekin duck dinner LOL!!!!!!! Sorry, could not resist for if you remember my yahoo group 2 years ago you would remember how I made out...

GREAT! you get to see the orphanage, I think that was my fav..seeing all the nanny's that took care of my Yu Ya:)
