Well we received our flight confirmations and e-tickets yesterday. We will be leaving for China on August 28th and returning September 11.

We will be flying with Northwest Airlines. We have to lay over in Tokyo both coming and going, so, we'll get to see a little bit of Japan. I (Jerry) wanted to at least fly business class on the way home but it would have been way too expensive >$8000 for all of us. The lap seat cost for Lily is based upon 10% of whatever the going rate is for a ticket on that particular day, so we're paying around $200 for her lap seat for the trip home.
