Testing, testing 1..2..3..

Hey all,

so this is my first official blog!!!! how excited are all of you. It all started on friday afternoon when i took a bus (i know, i took a bus. i'm pretty amazed with myself as well!!) to Lloyd. Kristen and Brent picked me up and shortly thereafter we went to edmonton. kristen's sister Deanna was nice enough to let us stay at her place last night. the journey began this morning at 9:55. we wet from edmonton to vancouver. had a 3 hour layover, then went to beijing where i am currently sitting now. let me just say that i HATE air china. the flight was 12 hours and they didn't start playing movies until 6 hours in to the flight. then they only played one. the plane was very old and not all that big and it was packed. it was awful. so kristen and I are sitting here bored out of our minds. it 4:30 in the afternoon their time, 1 am for us. i'm not too tired yet but kristen is starting to resemble the walking dead. well i just got told my time is up. BYE!!!

Congrats!
Oh my God!!! I am so proud of you. You've started your journey! I should be in England at the end of August, so I guess I'll have to start a blog too. Great to hear from you. Be safe. Jen

Glad you are safe
It sounds like you didn't enjoy your flight experience. I know the Asian overseas flights can be long and cramped but the beauty of it is those painful memories, like pain in childbirth, fade away to the "don't-keep-me-as-a-memory" corner of your brain thereby allowing you to experience and enjoy totally the new cultural environment you are in. I really appreciated you setting up the blog... hope we can continue to keep in touch. Love you Mom

Hi 12 hours eh....try 17....either way theres nothing enjoyable about plane travel or sitting in airports. Nevertheless, you've done the hard part....now Malaysia cant be too far off. Apparently they had floods there somewhere, so avoid those areas if you can, not sure where that was though. Here it is pissing down rain for last few days, cold and grey so enjoy

I was thinking about you two!! Keep 'em comin'!! Life here is pretty boring as an unemployed woman in rainy weather!! Good luck in your journey and I look forward to hearing more!! Love, Jen
