Finaly, we have packed all bags and ready to travel to China/Beijing to pick up our daughter Roselyn! Our kind and friendly neighbours Ton/Rika brought us to Schiphol airport to board our flight to Beijing.

Flight numer CZ346 leaving on the 17th of March 2006, at 18:50. Somewhat nervous and anxious but very exiciting to finaly meet out log awaited daughter. We wondered how she would respond to our first contact. The flight, short (about 9 hours 40 minutes) was not too bad, the food was tasteless and the movie programme was in Chinese. The temperature in the cabin was cold ! We had to ask for an extra blanket to present us from shivering.

We arrived at about 11:50 the next morning at the Beijing airport. After the usual customs nuisance, we were picked up by a nice Chinese lady (Selina) to take all 16 couples to out hotel at 20 minutes drive, just outside the airport where we could spend overnight before leaving to the province of Guand Dong the next morning.
