We are on the road and I am posting past days to try and get caught up.
We finally made it into our soft sleeper cabin after elbowing and forging through throngs of people going home for the holiday. Iris managed to get us through security, which would have given us a full taste of China right there. About 50 people at once try to go through a single door into the train station and deposit their luggage, bags, purses, coats, immediately onto a security conveyor and then running to get through the screener before the bags come out the other side. Of course it beeped whenever someone went through, and no one was even looking at the screen for the luggage, but it was a good security device! We were tripping all over each other as everyone ran in every direction. There is hardly room to pull your bag as people are shoulder to shoulder, but we made it to the waiting room and then onto the train.
The girls got the upper bunks while Ridley and I took the lower. Paige hates her picture being taken, so you get to view these lovely shots!
It was a fun night, not necessarily one with lots of sleep! We arrived in Beijing at 7:15 a.m. to more throngs of people. Photos to follow in the next blog!M

Hello All,
Sounds like out of a movie, trying to get through it all. Wow, to have your feet done and massaged.
