Our flights to China are booked

We got the last details needed from our family coordinator today to book our flights. Our travel dates will be 2/21 to 3/6 instead of 3/5. Northwest didn't have a flight that we would be able to make it to on the 5th. So we will stay another night and leave the next morning. We were going to get an extra seat for Sophie. So we would have more room but we decided to save our money instead. Phew! One more thing done. We leave Thursday 2/21 on flight 19 at 1:10 pm and arriving the next day in Beijing at 9:15 pm. We are going through Tokyo to Beijing. Its about 16 1/2 ours of flight time going out (not including layover). We are on flight 12 coming back and our flight time is about 15 hours. Its strange, because of the earth's rotation we leave Beijing on 3/6 at 9:05 am and arrive in Minneapolis on 3/6 at 10:55 am. Its definitely not going to feel like a 2 hour flight. I'm sure our fellow passengers will feel the same way. :)
