The driver picks them up at 9:00 am, and I join them, just to make sure they don\u2019t have a problem. There aren\u2019t any problems, and they quickly disappear through the first security area, bound for their gate. We hate to see them go. We\u2019ve had a blast showing them around.<\/p>\n<p>Judy takes Courtney out for another round of shopping at Yashow, including a snack at Crepanini, and later, lunch at Homeplate BBQ. She\u2019s getting to visit all of our haunts. We relax in the apartment when they get back, until we get hungry. We want to make sure Courtney gets a chance to try some Peking Duck. We walk to a nearby restaurant, specializing in traditional style, and give her the full treatment. It\u2019s great!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SUNDAY, 6\/22\/14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m late getting to these daily posts because we\u2019ve been so worn out after our touring, and there is more touring to come. I\u2019m actually writing this riding on a bullet train from Mt. Fuji to Kyoto (Friday, June 27).<\/p>\n<p>Today is Courtney\u2019s last chance to see Beijing (or at least what we know of it). We get her over to the Ladies Street Mkt., and the Flower Market for more shopping (or at least looking). We have so much stuff, when we finish, we have to go back to our apartment before we head back out. We taxi to Solana for a very late lunch, and some time walking around the huge mall area, then back to the apartment.<\/p>\n<p>We organize our plans for our early departure tomorrow (4:30 am). I\u2019m going over to Court\u2019s hotel to check her out, and Judy\u2019s going straight to the airport. It\u2019s going to be an early morning, so we finish our packing and head to bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SATURDAY, 6\/21\/14 The first order of business today is to get Brad and Glenda to the airport for their return flight to the US.
