As I type this we are just past the international date line. So this will post when I get to Guangzhou or, if I don't sort out the WiFi there, Sydney.
The kids are travelling like champs so far. They've been sitting side by side with us behind them. On the flight to Vancouver they watched the on board TVs. Now they are watching their ipods. The doodle was not impressed that the TV channel system was different from West Jet to China Southern Airlines. He is apparently boycotting the on board TV on this flight-lol.
Dave just pointed out that he and I have been to South America, Europe, and (obviously) North America. In a few hours we'll hit Asia and then Australia. Now we will just need to hit Africa and Antarctica and we'll be set!
Later...
6 hours to go. I saw some cool mountains. Luckily they were well under the plane and not right in front of it. Now we're over the Sea and Okhotsk (autocorrect grabbed that sea name the first time around-come on, cut me a break! It was hard enough to spell the first time!!). I'm sooooo bored. Seriously.
Later still...
Seriously, China Southern Airlines runs a classy show. The seats are big and there is lots of leg room too. The bathrooms are clean and even have a selction of soaps and stuff. I usually fly with Air Canada, so thrse thigs are noteworthy!! The grown ups managed to score 3 seats to ourselves which has allowed for a good rotation of people and laying down and cuddling short (and tall) people.
Just over four hours until this plane lands. The kid's ipods have barely left their hands. A big thank you to everyone who chipped in for them and for the iTunes gift cards!
Later still. ..
We are on the ground in China. We actually walked down stairs and got to touch Chinese soil. Very cool to be able to say that!!
Still talking!
