After two incredible days we have now arrived at our last day in Beijing, China. After pushing out our trip to the Great Wall of China to the last day of our time in Beijing all we could do is pray that the weather held up as predicted. We woke up this morning closer to a reasonable hour (4:00 AM) and once again got a relatively early start to the day. We went down to breakfast at 8:30 AM and had our new found favorite buffet. We both agreed that although it was still good there was definitely a diminishing return and we were looking forward to doing something else for breakfast for the rest of the trip.

We woke up this morning at 4:00 AM, so we obviously haven't fully transitioned to the Chinese time zone. That gave Jenn and I time to go over photos from the previous day and get ready for today. Originally we had planned to go to the Great Wall but after talking to the concierge he recommended to go on Sunday for less crowds and better weather, so we obliged. So instead today was all about continuing our touring from yesterday, but this time using the subways.

Welcome to Beijing China. After flying in last night and getting at least ten hours of sleep Jenn and I were ready to go this morning. We both woke up at around 6AM and began getting ready for our first full day. We mapped out our plan of attack for the and headed down to the first floor for breakfast.

Both Jenn and I did our best to go to sleep early last night to get ready for a long travel day. We woke up this morning at 4:30 AM and both were ready to take on the day. Well that mood lasted all of about five minutes when our hotel room's shower didn't have warm water. In most circumstances we would have called down and had the hotel fix the issue but we were on a time crunch. Jenn who had her whole morning mapped out, down to the very last minute braved the freezing cold shower. Not the best way to start your morning.

The wait is finally over. Our journey to the far east is about to begin. Today started like most any other weekday. We woke up and went to work. Jenn had a busy day at the office but was able to have a nice lunch with her dad. Me on the other hand I had to bounce from meeting to meeting (Pomona to Ontario and then home). Luckily I got home a little before Jenn so was able to pack up the the car, make sure everything in the house was in order, and wait for Jenn to get off work. 

We are only a few days away from leaving on our adventure to China and Bali and we are packed and ready to go. With each trip we seem to pack earlier and earlier. Today was no exception to that rule. Here is a small little video we put together of us packing and getting ready for the trip.
