We left Beijing for home on Saturday, Oct. 20. The airport was not as busy as when we arrived on Oct. 17. We were processed efficiently; lines were shorter than is often the case at home. As this photo shows, the Beijing airport was much like any other large, modern airport:
Following is the United Airlines 747 that took us to Chicago. Note the Iran Air 747 in the background; one doesn't see that at home.
We did not fly over the North Pole this time, but rather flew over the Siberian Peninsula and Alaska. We were hardly over water at all, except for the Sea of Okhotsk.
