Megan's Blog - May 15th

Today we left on our trip to Asia!  We left Columbia Airport at 6:00am, made our connecting flights in Washington and Chicago and then got on our 13.5 hour flight to Beijing (definitely the longest flight I’ve ever been on).  We flew over Canada, close to the North Pole, over Siberia, and then into China.  The flight went well (yay for watching Harry Potter movies on the in-flight screens!) and we arrived in Beijing on time.  After going through customs we met up with the rest of the group.
