Paradise found in Gaungzhou















Hello Everyone,
Sorry there have been no new posts for a few days..the weather in Nanchang was terrible so there were no good pictures...we left Nanchang yesterday which I will compare to the hills of Appalachia to hit Gaungzhou which I will compare to Manhattan. That is how stark the contrast is between the two cities. It is absolutely beautiful here although the bad weather from the north followed us down here. They are calling for sunny and in the 80s tomorrow, I cannot wait.
The flight from Nanchang was our first test flight for Alison. It was only one hour long but afterwards South declared he will never travel coach with a baby again, for all who know South, that says it all. She really was not bad, just very restless and the seats extremely small. We are praying that she will sleep for some part of the journey back home.
Today we went to the medical examination. It was very short and not very in depth...our little pumpkin was one of the smallest in the group weighing in at 16.4 pounds, but deemed very cute and healthy. The clinic was on Shaiman Island which I have to say is just gorgeous, we can't wait to go tomorrow and walk around and explore. It is almost a combination of Europe and the Islands, very lush.
We are at the Marriott hotel and it is very nice, such a contrast to the last hotel and Alison seems to love it....like mother like daughter.
I am sending some pictures and will post more tomorrow....till then..

    South and Bettina,
    I will pass you in the AIR on Friday as I head to Albuquerque. Looking forward to meeting my niece soon and celebrating her birthday!! Best wishes for that flight home.

    Love,
