China Itinerary


We received our intra-country travel arrangements yesterday and thought we would share them with everyone. Things will be picking up speed over the next few weeks as we prepare for our journey. The kids and I went grocery shopping today and were so tickled when we bought diapers for Joy. It's the little preparations like this that remind us that we are really bringing our baby girl home soon! The photo above is of the lobby of the White Swan hotel where we will be staying while in Guangzhou.

The White Swan, eh? We didn't stay there, but we parked in front of it, walked through the lobby and took photos of the waterfall and fishies in the pond, then went out the back to go shopping on the Island.

So happy for you all (especially for Joy). Now, if October would hurry up and get here.
love, Angie
