Friday, April 2, 2010

Its 10:45 pm at we just got into our hotel room at the Garden Hotel. It is beautiful! Water fountains outside with music and an unbelievable lobby. Piano player singing American songs – it was so nice to hear music that we could understand. I just sent Paul and Samantha into the lobby to take some quick pictures so I had something to post tonight. We just ordered room service and 2 very large Chinese beers. I don’t even like beer but tonight I am having one!!

This was a very long day. We left Nanchang at 3:00pm for the airport which was about a 45 minute drive. We arrived to find out the flight was delayed over 1 hour. With all our luggage and a “new baby” it was not easy. We have been travelling with Meghan and Keith and their daughters Emma and baby Tessa. We could not have asked for nicer friends . We finally boarded the plane and immediately found out that Grace is not a frequent flyer. She cried on and off for most of the flight so we were happy it was a short 1 hour flight. Our next guide met us Jack real nice guy, welcomed us with a Jeter Yankee shirt on and was very helpful with the luggage and getting us out of the airport quickly. Guangzhou has over 8 million people living here and it is quite different from Nanchang. As we drove to our hotel the streets were filled with people and tall colorful buildings and large beautiful hotels and shopping areas. I am going to make this brief I am so tired and we have to be in the lobby early . Tomorrow Grace is having her physical.

The weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow and close to 80 degrees. Samantha can’t wait to go swimming. Goodnight from Guangzhou!
