Updated: Slight change of plans.

We will now be leaving a day later on Sunday Aug 13th and flying on a 16hr flight direct to Hong Kong. We get to Hong Kong on Monday the 14th and take a connecting flight that night to Guangzhou. We will definately receive Alia on Tuesday the 15th. We will stay an extra day in Beijing on the back end of the trip and see a few sights with Alia.
We will arrive home on Aug 31st.
Keep watching for updates!
