This evening three families in our group departed for the airport for a short flight in HongKong. There they will stay overnight, then fly to New York and connect for a flight to Tampa tomorrow. We fly out tomorrow midday directly from Guangzhou to Seoul, Korea. We have a two hour layover there before flying to Chicago on a 13 hour flight. We will do customs and immigration in Chicago and arrive at last in Indianapolis at 9:06 PM Saturday night. We already miss our group. They spent most of the day packing, so we took a short trip to the Guangzhou City Zoo. After all, when do you get to see a real white tiger or a pair of pandas?? The zoo was beautiful and we might have stayed longer if it had not been drizzling. We had taken a taxi (with our destination written in Chinese for the driver). After seeing what we wanted most to see, Anya hailed a taxi for us for our return.
After the visas and all needed final paperwork for the babies were distributed, there was the traditional photo of the babies seated on the red couch. The babies were hilarious and so darling in their traditional Chinese "pajamas." We really enjoyed getting to know our group and bade them farewell with mixed feelings. We are all happy to be going home, but we have enjoyed our new friends. Tomorrow we go to the airport and home!
I am sure you are so excited to get home and see Doug, Hailey and Ginny, and for the whole family to be together. Good luck on your long trip. I can't wait to talk to you.
ReplyDeleteI think your baby dislikes the camera-she's always snuggled against you or turning away from a direct shot somehow. Hope she's feeling better, and good luck on the last leg of your journey.
