We leave Hong Kong for home at 12:50pm.  We are on the same flight as 2 other families in the group.  Security in China is very different than the USA.  There is more security check points but you get through them faster than in the USA with less security check points.  The flight from Hong […]

We didn’t do much other than pack and get ready to take the train to Hong Kong.  Our guide will be picking up Danni’s visa while we are waiting on the train.  She will meet us at the train station with all the information for Danni to be a US Citizen when we arrive in […]

We spent 99% of the day shopping for gifts and items to bring home.  We ended up buying another bag to check.  MeeMaw has gotten better at negotiating the prices.  We went to the pearl market.  Yep, you guessed it Debi and Danni got pearls.  We walked through the herbal market on the way back […]

We waited around our hotel room.  Well, Chuck waited in the hotel room.  Our guide took all our paperwork to the American Consulate to fill the paperwork to bring Danni home.  We had a group picture on the famous red couch.  Danni was screaming and crying the whole time while the babies on each side […]

Today, we went to a Buddist temple and Yuntai Park.  We saw some Kindergarten aged children at the Buddist Temple.  They gave out key rings and practiced their English on us.  They were so cute.  The park was very pretty.  We didn’t get a lot of pictures to post because the camera battery wasn’t fully charged.  […]

Today, we went to the Chen Family Temple.  It was a little crowded.  We did attract attention.  There are 11 families in our group.  Danni is taking about 3 to 4 and sometimes 5 naps a day and sleeping from 7pm – 4:30am at night.  She is still trying to adjust to the change in […]

We arrived in Guangzhou late last night.  We are staying at the White Swan Hotel.  We had to go through security to get into the hotel because the Asian Games are going on here.  When we were at the airport, our guide started talking to Debi in Chinese.  She could tell Debi was part Chinese […]

Today, we take a flight from Nanchang to Guangzhou.  Our guide for Beijing and Nanchang will leave us and we will get a new guide in Guangzhou.  We were kind of worried at first because it took us a while to get through security.  Our poor guide was pacing the floor.  He could not come […]

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!! Our guide is going to take us somewhere to have a nice meal for Thanksgiving this evening. We will be having duck instead of turkey and probably rice instead of dressing. We are going as a group so we will all spend Thanksgiving together. Today, we are going to XiangHuPark and relaxing […]

Last night was a little rough. She got her head stuck in the crib once and then her legs. We finally gave up on the crib. She took a lot of naps today. We think all the trauma from getting stuck made her tired. We went to Teng Wang Park.  We walked around a big circle.  […]
