Playing with new Laptop

Well, folks Iam trying out the new laptop. I don't like new software which equates to I don't like change. However, I'm sure with a little more tinkering I will have it so I can navigate my way around. This is a quick picture we took about a month ago to add to an album of pictures we are sending with a birthday package to Julianna at the end of the month. I am using it as a test to try out uploading the pictures to the blog. We are still waiting for our letter Notice of Coming to China and won't know our plans for in China until a few weeks before we go. Will let you know as soon as we know.

TICKETS PURCHASED

Well, it is official we have purchased the plane tickets. We leave bright and early Nov. 27th at 7:50am and land in Vancouver at 8:43am pacific time. Then at 12:30 pm we leave Vancouver for Beijing and arrive on the 28th at 4:05 pm, which is 2:05am our time. Just a bit of jetlag to be addressed. Then we travel home on the 12th of Dec. We leave Beijing at 5:35pm and arrive in Vancouver at 12:30pm the same day. We have a 5 hour layover until we take off for Edmonton at 5:40 pm and arrive at 8:10pm. Yipee!!!!
