I left Denver on Tuesday evening and flew to LA. Then I boarded Air China to Beijing. We left at 140 am Wednesday 8/31, crossed the international date line and arrived in Beijing at 545 am on Thursday 9/1. The flight was about 12 1/2 hours, one of the longer single flights I've taken, but still not as long as Delhi to Chicago last year (15 1/2 hours) or Los Angeles to Sydney (15 hours). The Beijing airport is huge and very modern--lots of stores and free WiFi! I will now fly to Ulan Bator on this plane where I will meet my team from Salt Lake City. I will be serving with a retired OB/GYN doctor and his wife as well as a nurse practitioner. They flew via Seoul.
