We are home!!!! We had the easiest travel home, even in coach for 14 hours. Just a few melt downs by Madeline but all in all very good. We only slept about 2 or 3 hours total but everyone did well until our flight was delayed only an hour, but that hour brought out bickering among kids and parents:) Read More >>

Planes, Trains and Automobiles…….
We made it to Hong Kong via train around 7:00 this evening. It was not bad at all. We did a test run with all our luggage from our room to the lobby this afternoon to see how bad it really was going to be:) Our guide Kelli helped with Madeline and Janie through the train station but we were good to Read More >>
Consulate Appointment, Baby Baby, First Kiss and Hank’s Obsession
Today was a wonderful last day in Guangzhou. I think our attitude is great since we see the light at the end of the tunnel, plus not much Whinese today as my friend Kate says:) Our consulate appointment was at 10:00 and went so smoothly. Paperwork this time around has been a breeze compared to last Read More >>
A Walk Through Guangzhou and the Qing Dynasty Museum……
Ok for the funniest part of the day. I dressed the girls this morning in UNmatching outfits. A few minutes later Janie kept going to the suitcase and pouting and whining. I gave her goggles, her doggie, her bear and FINALLY figured out she wanted a dress on like Madeline's :) Man am I in Read More >>
Day 462…….
or so it seems. The days are just flowing together in one big blob. We are just a little ready to come home and live in our house, not a hotel. Really our time has been very good here, just long. We hope not to repeat last night....Janie and I ate the same thing last night in the executive lounge Read More >>
Chen Family Temple,Porcelin and Pearl Market……and Whining……
We were off to the Chen Family Temple, whining, porcelin ( I know I'm spelling that wrong, I think), whining, and the pearl market, and whining. All the whining was done by Madeline, and pretty much in that order:) Hank just went with Ann, a personal shopper with Redthread. He Read More >>
Just Sayin…..
The joke is totally on us. We took the kids swimming and Janie is like a crazy girl. Totally hilarious......jumps right in and NEVER stopped moving hahaha.....so much for my total timid, scared girl. She has NO fear. And yes, we do have a pool that will be locked. I think I will be paranoid Read More >>
Medical Exam and Playtime……
Janie had her medical exam today. We went to the new medical facility, it was very crowded but nice. Our guide Kelli was wonderful and so helpful. Janie was very uncertain and scared but back to her happy self once we went to Shamien Island. She is such a little trooper. Not too sure about what is Read More >>
On To Guangzhou……
God has been smiling upon us. We had another great day with Janie. I promise I am not exaggerating...she is so sweet and happy. Wondering when the other shoe will drop:) We were so prepared for a trip different than what we are experiencing.....so very thankful that we are having an easy time Read More >>
Nothing Like Celebrating a Birthday in China…….
.......especially when you are as old as me. Yep I'm 49 today. Not as bad as I thought:) Janie gave me the best present ever by coming to me to pick her up today and stayed in my lap for about 5 minutes. She has not wiped off many of my kisses today either. I really cannot believe how well she is Read More >>
