We've arrived-weary but happy

This is not acting quite right as I write this tonight so forgive me if it comes out weird. Our flight was delayed an hour, the tvs were on the fritz, but it still was about as good a flight as one that long can be. Jim has fared very well so far though not without pain. We did get wheelchairs in all airports and I have to say, it is rather like having him in a wheelchair at Disney World. We three got taken straight through security, straight to the gates, picked back up at gates and taken to the next gate, and taken straight through all the passport controls, etc at the end. yea! It isn't worth it because of his pain, but looking at the bright side.... We went to the grocery store across from our hotel and that is an adventure in culture. Canned Cokes were 25 cents a piece so that was good news. It was rather fun to see what was in their deli section. I'm not sure what all it was, but we decided we'd better off eating at the hotel restaurant. It was quite nice. We are on the 18th floor and have a pretty view and Allen's room is next door. Tomorrow we start our sightseeing and I hope to post some photos. TOnight we are all too tired.
