Goodbye Zhengzhou, Hello Guangzhou

Today was a very tiring day. We had to check out at 9:30 to leave for the airport. While we waiting to board we found a neat play area and Laikyn had a ball climbing and sliding. Our flight was about two hours and she was very good. She ate, drank a bottle, played with the lights and things in the seat back. During the descent, she got fussy, but some gummy bears from another family helped that. She started going to sleep as we were about to unload, so we changed her diaper and got her fussy again. She finally fell back to sleep as we went into baggage claim and slept through the long walk and the bus ride to the hotel. As we left the airport, I asked Jilli if anything seemed familiar and she said, " Just the stench". Haha! We are staying at the China Hotel which is a Marriott hotel. It seems a little more Westernized than the other. There are McDonald's and Papa Johns very close and a Starbucks in the lobby. I had really wished to stay at the White Sean where we stayed with Jillian. It was next to the consulate and very family friendly as well as all of the wonderful shops nearby. We found out that it is closed and under renovation since the fall. This is nice too though. After out McDonalds supper, we walked around to orient ourselves with the hotel and ran into a couple from Evansville who are here adopting their second child. We have noticed quite a few other adoption families besides the ones in our group. Everyone seems to be doing so well that it's amazing me. The Lord gives us a certain child for a reason and it seems they sense they are home and meant to be with us.
