Hello Friends and Family,
Well, the time has arrived. In less than 12 hours we will be in the air towards China! Today was a productive day. We were able to fit all of the clothes and items we wanted to take with us into our four suitcases. We went to Fred Meyer and stocked up on powerbars, hot chocolate and oatmeal, just in case it takes us a while to find food when we get there. We have confirmed that Mr. River, our contact at the college, will meet us at the airport when we arrive at midnight, Sunday night. For those of you on the west coast, we will be in Nanning at 9 AM sunday morning your time.
We hope to be able to contact you soon and post a blog of our apartment and an update on our first couple days. It will all depend on when we can get access to the internet. We fly to Vancouver, B.C. tomorrow, then from there to Beijing and onto Nanning. Including layovers, it will be 24 hours traveling time. Should be quite the trip. We have iPods, a computer, books and snacks so hopefully we can stay busy.
We love each of you very much and will miss you while we are gone, but we are excited to finally start this adventure and to begin to share with you the experiences we will have. Please be thinking of us as we sign our contract and get situated at the college, meeting the students and other professors we will be working with. See you soon.
Sincerely,
Ryan and Kealy Thorson
