This has been an amazing trip, but we are ready to come home.
We got to Guangzhou on Sunday and are staying at the White Swan Hotel. Prices have certainly risen in the last four years, and there are fewer adoptive families and more Chinese on Shamian Island. We did a boat trip on the Pearl River last night and were amazed at the endless development (and neon) along the river. We continue to fight colds, intestinal problems, and back problems. We hope we are on the other side of all of these problems.
The people on this trip are great, and all the children are beautiful. Today is our consulate appointment for Alyson's visa, and tomorrow is the swearing-in ceremony at the consulate. We lost the wheels off one of our suitcases, so we had to buy a new one (of course for all of the shopping we are doing too.) We look forward to being home and seeing you soon.
If you plan to meet us at the airport on Thursday morning, please make sure you check the arrival time so you are not left at the airport for a long time.
We are excited about bringing our new daughter home. K-sister has been a great big sister.
