一路平安

We are about to board our flight to Beijing, China where we will start our two week adventure on the Trans-Siberian Railway. After some initial confusion with all the time zones, we decided 10:22 am was still a decent time for lunch and indulged at the seafood place in the Seattle airport: salmon and rockfish followed by local peaches was the way to get started with this long and tight (no aisle seats available) plane ride. The longest flight either of us have ever been on, that's for sure. Still not exactly sure how many hours, though.
Lydia went into a enthusiastic obsession upon being handed her boarding pass, which was - of course - in Chinese! And Chris learned how to pronounce our soon to be tour guide of Beijing, Cao Li Ping. Progress.

一路平安!(Bon Voyage)
