We're here!

After a short stay in Hong Kong, where we were reunited yesterday evening after John Lewis's arrival from Europe, we've traveled to Nanning, the capital of Ginger's home province. We're now less than 24 hours away from meeting the little girl. From what we understand, she and the other girls from her orphanage traveled from a few hours away today and are staying in a nearby hotel. After taking care of some documents tomorrow morning, we'll be united with Ginger tomorrow late afternoon. How do we feel?

Amy's deathly nervous, so bad she's got a stomach ache.

Cleo's nonchalant, though she did get quite excited when we reached our hotel room and discovered a baby crib in the corner.

JL's similarly relaxed, trying to balance out for Amy. He expects to switch roles with her sometime tomorrow around 4:30.

China is nothing like what we expected. Our "five-star hotel" is a bit rough at the edges, but otherwise elegant. The Hong Kong Shangri-La was exquisite--most of all the food. We never envisioned being pampered during this trip. But, since luxury is on offer, we're enjoying.
