We made it! This is a post of maps mostly. Hopefully I’ll post some photos tonight or tomorrow morning. The flight was an hour delayed taking off and was flying into a headwind so it took almost 15 hours flying.

We arrived in Shanghai around 8:00 PM and it took about a half hour to clear customs . Rhonda has no fingerprints left from her work as a safe cracker but that’s another story. Our driver was delayed 30 minutes with a flat tire! But all went well after that and we got to the hotel by 10 as it’s an hour drive from the airport to downtown. It was an impressive nightscape as we arrived into Shanghai proper. Shanghai is the largest city in China with 30 million+ people and the 3rd largest in the world after Tokyo and Delhi.

We are headed out for some touring this morning and evening so looking forward to our first full day in China!
