Hotel, Sweet Hotel...

We have finally arrived!! We are both exhausted and thankful to finally be here. I have been working for about an hour trying to gain access to blogger.com With the anniversary of the demonstrations in Tsquare, access to blogger as well as privacy servers have been blocked by the government. I finally found another server, but had some issues...but I don't give up very easily when I really want something :)

My laptop is also giving me some issues w/freezing. I have done some updates and hope that the problem is resolved...so we will see. Fortunately, there is a desktop in our room, so if I have too much trouble, there is a backup. Last time I had some issues with formatting, so my fellow "teacher" friends, please excuse the continuous paragraphs if I can't change the html.

Tomorrow is a free day other than meeting with Connie, our guide. I am sure that we will be in "crazy" schedule mode for the next couple of days. Thankfully we have those to adjust before we meet Elli...oh yeah, we will soon have Elli!! It seems like an eternity to get to this point, but we are finally here!

Carter, Jacob, Parker & Anna,

We have some pretty funny stories to tell you about our flights. We thought of you multiple times...especially when we were going through the movies on the flight and they had all the X-Men (except Origins of course) and the video games :-) You guys would have been in heaven!! I will give more details of our trip tomorrow and hopefully a few pics.

The sights, sounds and smells are all so familiar and a flood of memories came back as we approached the city of Guangzhou. It was only 2 years ago that we were here with Anna sending you boys messages. We hope to talk to you in the morning and love you bunch, bunch, bunches!!!

Sending love and hugs to our babies at home and our baby in Qingyuan,
Rodney & Marcy
