We have made it to Guangzhou! The 13 hour flight was brutal, but it is behind us thank goodness. Richard our guide picked us up at the airport at 12:30 am and brought us to the Garden Hotel....oh my word! This place is awesome! It's beautiful, the breakfast has anything you could want, the room is nice, there are lots of people willing to help. Today is a down day for us so we...no really I decided I had to have a coke! I needed a coke! I can't survive without something to drink and I refuse to drink the 8.00 cokes in our room (if that's really the price....I can't read Chinese:). So we set out on our first adventure and boy was it interesting. Chinese people are pretty pushy, not saying that mean, but just as a fact. I am learning to push back. They go, go, go and well if you don't go you just might get pushed down. We took lots of pictures but unfortunately I didn't have my IPad so they are all on my phone. I will try to take it with me some so I can post them here. I've skyped with the boys three times today and they seem to be doing okay. Technology is amazing!
Tomorrow is the day we meet Caroline Mae. We have waited for this day for many years and to be honest I'm scared to death! I look in the mirror and think what in the world am I doing here, will this work out, have we made a mistake? You might think that sounds ugly, but its real feelings...maybe not for some but for me. It really hits you hard when you check into your room and there in the same room as you is a crib. We appreciate all your prayers as we count down the hours to our forever daughter and one less orphan in the world.

A crib....Wow! This is real!
