Almost time.....

I pick up Mia's visa at 5:20 today in our guide's room. Some people in our group are heading out tonight, most of us leave tomorrow. We leave The White Swan at 5:30pm and head to the airport. I am hopeful that Mia will do well on the long plane ride. Shoot, I am hopeful all 3 of us do well on the long plane ride! We fly Guangzhou to LAX; LAX to Detroit. My ride will be waiting for me in Detroit. We are ready.

We went back to the Pearl Market today. I finished up my shopping there. I did buy Mia a pearl necklace for later; wedding day or college graduation--a big event.

We explored the hotel grounds more today. We saw the lap pool, and had heard about a pool with a waterfall. That waterfall pool was really nice. I would love to have the trees and landscaping in my backyard!

I think that re-entry will be a doozey. At least until we get a routine down. Please be patient with us. ;)
