I haven't talked to her since she left. Her route was D/FW --->Detroit---->Japan---->Beijing and I checked a little while ago and the flight landed at 9:09 p.m. TONIGHT in Beijing. (That would be 8:09 a.m. Central time this morning). At least I know the flight made it ok.
She'll catch another flight tomorrow to Shenyang, China - her home town. (I say "town" - it's 6 MILLION people !) I'll call her tomorrow or Friday to see how she's doing. (I have no way of knowing where to get hold of her in Beijing). Thanks, FRiend.....
