We arrived in China

May 9th, 2009

Greetings to everyone and thank you for your prayers for Brad.

We left Atlanta Thursday morning and flew North over Chattanooga, Chiago, started curving Northwest over Canada and the Northwest Terratory, over Siberia and Russia down to China.  We started West over Bejing so as to miss N. Korea fly zone.  We arrived in Shanghi 16 hours later.  Due to the Swine Flu concern we stayed on the plane for almost another hour to have temperature checked by a lazer thermometer.   All cleared and baggage grabbed we were off to meet Jerry our taxi driver.  We then drove about two and and half hours to the hospital at Hangzhou.

We went out to KFC for dinner and a stop at the RT Mart.  Then a good night rest with exception of car alarms going off in the night 20 floors below.  The windows were open for a nice breeze.  Brad is planning on staying alone but it was late so he allowed me to stay the night.  So I am off to check into a hotel. 

He had his blood drawn this morning and we will be off exploring for the day.  He is trying to make contact with a friend.  We are planning on being picked up by taxi in the morning to go to church.  More later.
