Checking in from LA

We have made it to LA, and are waiting for our China Southern flight. And - we miss our kiddos already, although it sounds like Elia and Alex had fun at Chuck-e-cheese's and playing Put-put golf with Andi and Ashley (thanks, guys!)
The flight from Denver to LA was more like a tour - the pilot kept commenting on what we were flying over, and now I can say that I have seen the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley!
We also just watched the Swiss Airline plane take off to Zuerich - we thought about changing our destination for a minute (soelled me cho?)
It is definitely sinking in that we are going to China! We're ready to get some sleep, too!
Signing off for tonight, our next post will be from Guangzhou!
