Made it to Guangzhou

So if you were tracking our flight, Mom and Tracey, you probably thought, ahhh, they're on their way...flight takes off on time, takes no detours, and lands on time. HAH! Fooled you...we had paper tickets, but upon baggage check in the computer shows that we have e-tickets. Big problem - everything must match. We must go back to ticketing to have the discrepancy corrected before we can check our baggage and board the plane. Don't feel bad for us. Mary and Bill had e-tickets, but the computer showed they had paper tickets. VERY big problem - the only way to fix their situation was to actually purchase new tickets - AGAIN! Yikes! We all made it to boarding, Mary and Bill in the nick of time!

The pics below are from our last day in Nanning, Guangxi - our daughter's city, province.


Who ordered the chicken basket??


Heading to the alley to hide from the police.


Not allowed to sell outside of the market...


What are they doing with all those chickens??


Barry shouts "Baby, just keep walking...don't look".


Sophie attracts more attention.


Oh, not the dogs...


I'm going vegetarian!!


Just thinking of Lilly...we come home on her birthday...and Gracie's birthday!!


Outback, here we come!!




City life...


Chicken feet...and not sure what else...


Imagine everyone leaving at the same time!


Ahh....back home, well to the hotel that is. Notice the bow. Someone asked me if Sophie was a boy or a girl!!! My heavens to Betsy!! I went straight to the store and bought a couple of clips for her hair!

Love to all...Night, Night!

A boy or a girl? Give me a break. I think it's great you have the opportunity to share some of her culture with her. What a wonderful experience you have to cherish forever. Have a safe journey home.
