We are in GZ! it took most of the day; due to lightening and Thunderstorms. We arrived at the hotel late this afternoon, around 3pm. Our flight was delayed from Hong Kong for 2 hours before take off, and delayed one hour in the air circling Guangzhou. We could not land due to the weather and the low cloud turbulence... at moments I thought ... wow, we should have taken the train..(but, our agency does not recommend the train from Hong Kong to Guangzhou, unless you pay and book your own tickets.)
The 45 minute van ride from the airport to the hotel was crazy. They drive so fast here and squeeze in close and dangerous between other vehicles. We were on the express way going 110kmph and it drops quickly from 4 lanes to only 2 lanes... omg! crazy! By the way, they do not have stop signs, or many traffic lights.
We ordered a Papa John's Pizza for dinner... {Yes, :o) for in Room Delivery} Yummy!!
We took a quick walk up the street,... I stopped at 1 shoppe on my way to get a coke zero at the 7~11. The shoppe owner "GRACE" will do laundry for 40% off. You drop it off in the am, pick it up later the same afternoon. whoo'hoo!
James and Jacob are sooo tired, and Jacob and I got airplane sick...thank goodness for Dramamine and Tums! We are unpacked & organized (heeehee) and the boys are lying down now.
"Our Gotcha Day" tomorrow is at 2pm, :o) The orphanage director will be bring Hannah by train from Maoming City; which is 6 hours away, to the civil affairs office here in Guangzhou. We meet Hannah then!
