July 12th to Beijing and getting a hotel

Our plane journey started with a tight check-in on arrival, followed by Cheryl's and my passports not valid.  Eventually we figured out we had been booked on our old passport numbers used off documents before we had our new passports.  Fortunately Cheryl had them.
Then we boarded the plane and waited for take off as we taxied around and then watched the plane park along a fence?  Just over 3 hours later sitting on the tarmac due to weather delay we took off.  After being on the plane for just over 6 hours, we finally landed.
We did not prepare for 6 hours on the plane, and I scared Keanna by flushing the loud Vacu-flush airplane toilet and she did not want to go.  Lots of tears and crying.  Cheryl eventually got her to go, thank goodness as we only had on spare pull-up, that never got used (-:
We got to our hotel after collecting luggage and a 1 hour drive, it was 9:30 pm and we had not yet ate dinner, kids were hungry and grumpy.  Our guide met us in the lobby and helped us to our room.  She wanted to do our Visa paperwork right away before we ate...  We did, but Cheryl or I could barely focus and the kids saying I'm hungry...  We eventually got food, another challenge...
Bed time
