Trip to China
All Days  |  Previous Day  |  Next Day

Friday, July 6, 2007 We have made it to the famous White Swan Hotel on Shamian Island in Guangzhou. It is so late as our flight was delayed for 1 ½ hour from Nanchang. All the parents were nervous about the babies’ first flight. Ava was so good. She did not cry. However she sang, yes sang at the top of her lungs to anyone who would listen. She waits for you to look at her then gets up on her tippy toes and belts out her voice for your approval. It’s like “oh, you’re looking at me. Let me sing you a song!” It’s just so funny. Fortunately the nice man sitting in our row thought she was cute and was not annoyed, but amused. We felt sorry for a few of the parents with screaming babies. 26 in all from different agencies and provinces. We decided there should be a horror film titled “Babies on a Plane” starring Samuel L. Jackson. In the airport, Ava laid her head on my chest. She looks at me and smiles. And she reaches for me when she sees me. I am so in love. When she is laying on me, she will reach over to feel if Roy is still close by. We are her family, now. Some ladies in the airport were oohing and aahing over her. They looked at us together and said “she is close to you…her mama.” I beamed. We can already tell this is a 5 star hotel. The standard of living in this city is a world apart from Nanchang.
