Hello from Big Dave in Beijing!

(1/7) > >>

David:
Hello to the Brotherhood!  Well I made it too Beijing safely!  However my checked luggage did not!:@  The flight between LA and Tokyo was 55 minutes late and I only had a one hour layover.  All Nippon Air literally paged me and ran me from my landing gate to my departure gate.  No one could speak very good English so they could not tell me if my luggage would make the transfer.  They said they did not think so but could not tell me when or how it would arrive.  So I landed in Beijing and the luggage never showed up in baggage claim.  I had to file a lost luggage claim before exiting through customs.  But it was all worth it when, after a further hour delay I finally exited and there was Anna, smiling and waiting for me!!:heart:  We took the express train and the subway to the Downtown Holiday Inn Beijing and checked in.  It took about an hour from the airport to check in.  My luggage did not arrive until almost 10 pm the next day.  So it was 48 hours in the same clothes.  Ughhhh!  It looks like I can have access to the Chinalove info site from here and can view my blog from the ninjacloak site that Martin posted.  Martin also showed me how to removely post to my blog via my email.  I am downloading my photographs as i type this so I will try and po[/b]st to my blog later today or tomorrow.

Big Dave does Beijing. :icon_biggrin:

Glad you made it, good luck and have fun.

David:
No delays from the runways... however it takes some time to get through all the health check and security check points.  I think I had to pass through two or three health point checks.  At these there are meters that read your ambient body temperature to make sure you do not have a fever.  Also on the plane I had to fill out a health questionare.  The Chinese government is very concerned about the swine flu at the moment.  This health paperwork had to be turned in at one of the check points.
