Flights Booked; Partial Itenerary

Shawn worked very hard at getting all our flights booked for our international travel. I'm glad she took charge of this because frankly, I would have messed them all up. Also, she's the best bargain shopper I've ever met, hands down. She made sure our longest flights, from LAX to PEK and HKG to LAX were on EVA Air's Elite Class, which is comparable to business economy class. I'm 6'3" tall, and would not have been able to handle the REALLY LONG flights in coach.

I'm posting a partial itenerary for us below. It still has a few holes to fill, but if I waited until it was finished, I probably wouldn't get it up before we left. We've been keeping really busy trying to get ready for the trip. Things have moved really fast since we got our CA. It's a little hard to believe that we're leaving in just 5 days and will have Alyssa as part of our family in 11 days. I'm looking forward to the trip and will be glad when all the preparation is over.
