We have arrived in Toronto!!!

Well after getting up at 3 am (we didn't sleep a wink) we left for the airport at 4 am and were safely on our way to Montreal. We landed and boarded our next flight at 10 am Montreal time and landed in Toronto at 11:30. we collected our bags and made our way to the Sheraton where we wasted no time crawling into our pj's and into bed. Mike went out like a light and let's just say I still haven't slept a wink!! Diane and Joe landed at the hotel at 2:00pm with Lisa and Andrew and then along came the rest of the group. We had a great supper and are just blogging to update everyone at home. We have printed our boarding passes so tomorrow we need not stand in line for 2 hours and just proceed to the baggage check in, and we are off to CHINA!!!!! WOW!!! hard to believe we are on our way. We are planning an early bedtime, at least I am, Mike is off in search of TimHortons coffee!!! Some things never change! I have a couple of pictures so enjoy and our next post will be from Beijing!! See below the pictures of the group having supper and some taken of the TO airport!!! Hugs and Kisses to everyone and we look forward to all of your comments!!!
Doesn't Barbara look tired!!! She must have taken the "red eye" flight!!

Glad to see you all together in TO. What a great group you guys are!! After we left the D & J at the airport today, our princess kept saying" mom can't we please go to China." All day she commented and before bed she took my hand and said Mom I can't wait to visit China again! I cried, wish we were there, I can't wait to follow you all in China. Man China will never be the same. Travel Safe!

Hugs to you

We have been following your trip since you left, to the hour almost. The memories are so vivid since it has only been a few months since we brought Amy home. Try to get some sleep when you get to Beijing if you can. Keep safe.
