On to Guangzhou

We are now in Guangzhou.  Yesterday, we just relaxed in our hotel room.  We had to be there at noon to get some documents and then needed to be ready to leave at 2.  So rather than venture all around, we too, time to pack and just rest.  We were at the airport extra early and had over an hour to wait for our flight.  When we finally got on our flight, we sat on the tarmac for nearly two hours before takeoff.  Fortunately, they went ahead and served us dinner, but unfortunately, the TJ had depleted his DS battery playing with GW and JA while waiting in the terminal. 

Our flight was good, just a small amount of turbulence - a better first ride for TJ than for GW.  TJ enjoyed looking out the window once we finally got going, but since it was dark there wasn't much to see.  The best part of our flight was when GW wanted to take a nap.  He had laid his head down on the tray table, but the person in front leaned back hard and pushed his head.  I patted my shoulder and motioned for him to lay his head on my shoulder - he did!!!!  He rested his head there for a few minutes, picked it back up - and laid it back down again!!!! So he didn't do it just to be obedient - he actually wanted to rest his head on my shoulder!  We arrived and our guide was waiting for us and off we went to The Garden.

O-M-W!  Opulence is the word that comes to mind.  Each hotel has gotten nicer and nicer.  The boys are going to be sorely disappointed when we finally get home to our house.  Maybe our brief stay in Beijing in a hostel will get them more accustomed to our house - LOL! 

We have a pretty busy schedule here in GZ.  It was nice to be handed an itenarary for the week as well as a map of the area around the hotel. 

More pictures (I know, you probably think we have already taken too many!!!)  to come.  We got in very late and haven't unpacked everything yet, so I can't download the pics from my camera.
