Travel Day -7/22

It is really easy to lose track of what day of the week it is. We can hardly believe it is already Sunday...having our tablet and smartphone still on San Francisco time doesn't help!
Today we got up to leave the hotel by 5:45 am to fly to Kunming and on to Beijing. Tomorrow, we leave the Beijing hotel at 5:30 am to catch the plane to Mongolia for the main part of the adventure. Sometimes travel is not all glamour! The best part (sort of ) is that we got lots of exercise despite sitting on planes for 4-5 hrs... the Kunming Airport (brand new...opened in late June ) and Beijing Airport are both so huge and our gates so far from the center that we literally walked at least 4 miles today, hauling our carry-on bags too.
I am hoping that when we leave China, I will be able to sign on to picasa and upload photos and maybe even insert some into the blog. Once we get to Mongolia, we will only have internet access in the capitol and will be totally offline for 3-4 days at a time while we explore the countryside.
