Today, we began our long journey to China! This morning, we woke up at 4 AM (after getting 3 hours of sleep) and finished packing. We left our home in Grove City, Pennsylvania at 6:15 AM.

***S/O to the Holtz family! Thanks for taking us to the Pittsburgh Airport!

When we arrived to the airport and checked our luggage, it was a close call! Our baggage can be 50 lbs. per luggage. Luckily, the were all under or EXACTLY 50 lbs.! To get to Beijing, we left Pittsburgh to Detroit at 9:55 for an hour long flight. Then we left the Detroit airport (after problems getting Toby, our emotional support dog, on to the plane) at 12:10. This is our longest time in the airplane, 14 hours (Although I'm extremely ecstatic because The Fault In Our Stars-My FAVORITE movie- is a movie on the plane! Along with "The Blind Side", "The Giver", "Frozen", "Mockingjay", "The Maze Runner", and many more!) When we arrive to our destination, we will be in Shanghai, China. Where we will have a 4 hour layover then get on the last plane to Guangzhou, China. When we get off of the plane at Guangzhou, we will take a taxi to the HJ hotel then catch the high speed train at 10 AM. I can't wait until we land in Guangzhou so I can finally move my legs!
