Arrival in Nanning

Just wanted to let you know that we made the 36 hours of travel fine and arrived at Nanning on time. It is now Sunday afternoon at almost 3pm as I write this. Our flight to Los Angeles went great... we had a difficult transfer with luggage to get to the China Southern Terminal at LAX, but managed to pull it off. The flight to China was 15 hours and everyone did fine. Lauren was really good the whole way. We did a mad dash through the airport at Guangzhou to get our checked luggage, go through customs, and then literally run a 1/2 mile or so thru the terminal to make our flight to Nanning just minutes before departure. Our guide met us in Nanning at the airport. Her name is Hannah and she speaks very good English. Our hotel in Nanning is called the Majestic and is pretty nice (at least compared to where we stayed in Hufei last time). We are about to go out to check out the city and take a few pictures. We get to meet Lili tomorrow afternoon. One of us will write more later.... just wanted everyone to know we are here and safe. Rick.
