In China!

Today was straightforward: we met our group at 11am, boarded a bus, passed through customs and immigration into China, and arrived in Guangzhou around 3pm. We met our hosts Jason and Kathy – two people who will be our best friends for the next 12 days. We checked into the White Swan hotel, took a short rest, toured the neighborhood (which is lovely) and then had dinner at Lucy’s around the corner. We are getting to know our group and loving every minute of this experience.

Since then it’s been nothing but trouble. I’ve spent a few hours trying to get connected –wire, wireless, blackberry, nada! I finally found a wireless connection, paid for temporary access and then struggled for several hours. From here on out, Jill (my sis) will be posting blog entries since the blog site is blocked in China (Google) and I’ll work on getting her pictures too.

We have an early morning with a trip to the bank and family meeting with our host. We go to meet the babies at 2pm. WE WILL HAVE OUR DAUGHTER IN OUR ARMS SHORTLY AFTER THAT! Stay tuned and I’ll do my best to stay connected.
