FRIDAY, JULY 20TH

We mostly worked on packing up for our flight to Guangzhou today. Gracie continues to do just do great! She slept the whole 1 hour flight here to GZ. The White Swan is about 45 minutes from the airport and so we got to the hotel around 8 pm. We unpacked a bit and then decided to go and walk around the main floor of the lobby. OH MY GOODNESS!!! It is absolutely amazing! There is a waterfall with a huge koi pond at the bottom right in the middle of the main floor. There is a mini-mall with all kinds of shops on the main floor too. The pool is beautiful and outdoors so we will definitely be checking that out tomorrow. Scott swam in the pool at our other hotel and advised that Gracie and I not because it didn't seem to have any chlorine in it. The Gloria Plaza was a very nice hotel too but pales in comparison to The White Swan. We will take some pictures tomorrow and post them. Well, Scott & Gracie are already asleep so I had better get there too. We have to be up early for her medical exam in the morning.
P.S. We never ended up taking her to the hospital in Nanchang. We remembered that she was going to have a medical exam here and we didn't want to sit around in a foreign hospital waiting room if we didn't absolutely have to.

Hola--Yeah, nice place to stay, eh? I just emailed Mel and she wanted to know where the Starbucks was ") So if you want to go, maybe you could go together. It's a little bit out of the way. You'll find that Guangzhou is much more laid back, and a bit more like home. It was really fun, there. That's where I bought most of Ellie's outfits. You should be going to the zoo, and 5 Rams Park, and on a dinner cruise. Melody said Gracie is smaller than Emma. Sounds like you got a peanut. Well, enjoy your last 5 days there. I bet you're missing the kids...I remember. Love you, Kelli
