Travel To Guangzhou

This morning, we had a wonderful visit with July Nie over breakfast. July is Robbins and Associates' representative in China. (Robbins and Associates is Christi's father's company. He designs golf courses and communities and is currently working on projects in China.) She brought us a gift from her and her husband, a stuffed mascot from her husband's company's website (www.sina.com).

Then we and the rest of our group left the hotel for the airport.

Some of us headed to Guangzhou; others to other provinces. Everyone and their children will eventually end up in Guangzhou, so we will see everyone again before we leave.

A nicer group of people you could not imagine than the other familes with which we are sharing our journey.

We checked in this afternoon to the White Swan Hotel, our home away from home for the next two weeks. We had a brief orientation in the hotel's playroom, and received our itinerary.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6 AT 1:15 PM (SUNDAY NOVEMBER 5 11:15 PM CENTRAL STANDARD TIME, MONDAY NOVEMBER 6 12:15 AM EASTERN STANDARD TIME) WE LEAVE THE HOTEL TO GO AND MEET KATE!
