I had about a ten paragraph posting going with Kylee sitting on my lap. She pounded on the key board and wiped it all out!! :-) You are going to get the extremely shortened version now. Yesterday at breakfast Susan who was to be our guide in Changsha came to meet Lisa and I and bring the girls presents and a package for "ZZ Families" in the states. They are a Yahoo group that supports Kylee's orphanage with programs and monetary help. We packed up and Mr. Gua and Anna delivered us to the pairport for our flight to Guangzhou for the second half of our stay in China. We just can't say enough about Anna our facilitator and guide in Changsha. She just did an awesome job!! Anna Bannana, we miss you already! We hope that if Anna ever travels to the U.S. that she will come and stay with us.
We arrived in Guangzhou and were delivered to the Victory Hotel Annex. Judy, our local facilitator was here to meet us. We have a really nice mini-suite here with lots of room to spread out. After a dinner at Lucy's Bar and Grill we took a little stroll and hit the hay. We had breakfast here at the hotel and are back in our room unpacking while the girls watch a movie and dad blogs.
We meet with Judy this afternoon to complete our paperwork here, which Judy will take to the consulate for us. Tomorrow we do Kylee and Jax's medical checkups. Then on Tuesday while Judy delivers our paperwork to the U.S. Consulate, the Harbours and us are going to a local wild life safari. Wednesday we should receive Kylee's U.S. visa and be free to travel. The only problem is the next non-stop flight is Friday night which we plan to be on!! :-). Meantime we will wander Shamian Island, where we are, do some shopping and such and just generally relax and enjoy ourselves.
Did I mention, it is about 90 degrees with 98% humidity???? Should be cooler in the 70's on Tuesday and Wednesday. Laterz.
