Home at Last!!


A super smooth touch down at Toronto Pearson ended a very very long 13hr flight from Beijing. The flight was very tiresome, and envolved a lot of enteraining. Jill only slept about 6 hrs of the flight, some other people in our group fared better, some not. The flight was full with people going to Toronto to be with family for the New Year. Both Kerri & I managed to get about 1/2-1 hr nap. Our flight was 1 hr delayed at takeoff, which made for us do the airport sprint at Toronto, to catch our flight to London. After going through customs & immigration, find all our luggage, and transfer it to the next flight, we had about 15 mins. to spare, we were glad we sprinted through the airport ( we thought we had plenty of time, we were lucky).
Our arrival in London was a warm, teary greeting by family, then we headed home. Once we got home, Jennifer showed Jill her room & fed Jill some breakfast (China Time schedule). It is currently 3:43 am, and Jill has had a small nap (China morning nap), and has been up since about 1:00 am. Jennifer was not impressed with Jill's crying, so we retreated downstairs to let Jen get some sleep. Kerri & I have been tag teaming it, and both of us have gotten a couple hrs of well needed sleep, but like Jill, we are still on China time, and have caught our second wind. I think today will be one of those tired, foggy days. We are looking forward to a morning walk over to Tim Hortons for a couple of large coffee's!!!


2:30 A.M - lets go!!
