More China More Travel

We had to be up and ready today by 8:00 for breakfast cause guess what we had another flight!

And just so everyone knows jetlag is horrible! Anyone who tells you different is WRONG! It makes you REALLY tired.
  We ate at the hotel buffet breakfast and it was good! (There was a lot of American food so that's probably why it was so good.)
  After our fill of breakfast we got in the bus to head to the airport. And we all thought we were pretty cool since the guide had told us that we wouldn't have to touch our luggage because she had people doing it for us. In fact they were supposed to check the luggage onto the plane for us too so we wouldn't even have to see it until we arrived at our destination in shanghigh. So there we were all of us weird Americans having people load up our luggage for us and ya know just chilling in the bus with our sunglasses on. Carmen and I definatily enjoyed the ride waving at people and seeing there faces lighting up like we were some kind of movie stars.  (Of course thats how everyone at home treats me anyway so nothing new for me. Just kidding!)
  On our plane our plane ride we certaintly kept ourselves busy also. Me and Carmen sat next to a Chinese dude who spoke very little English. I must admit we were being a little loud and abnoctious when we got out her "How To Learn Chinese" book and wrote down Chinese symbols to make sentences and then passed them back to the lady behind us. Well the dude next to us didn't like that very much. I know because he kept saying "Seatel doon, Seetel doon,"
 Anyway after the plane ride we went to get our luggage and we noticed that a bunch of our luggage was missing! When we talked to our guide we found out that there was a miscommunication between us! She thought that all of our luggage was supposed to stay at our hotel in Bejing,! (some of it was staying because we were coming back to Bejing to go sightseeing, climb the Great wall, etc.) We weren't feeling so cool anymore probably because when you don't have clothes to wear you don't feel to great!  While the guide tried to figure out that problem we took a bus to a new hotel in. And to add to this difficulty we were all still very tired from jetlag. So after lots of panic, rushing, and shock we figured out that the luggage could be driven here. We went to dinner (which was good) and then went back to our rooms to sleep. So after borrowing some peoples clothes and Pj's (I am way to cool to say pajamas):-) we got ready for bed. But only after our guide came and figured out some things for tomorrow did we finally fall asleep at eleven.
