Goodbye beautiful Shamian Island.
Friday afternoon we took a van from Guangzhou to Hong Kong, hoping to see some of China's country side. There was none to be found, just city as far as the eye can see. The ride is about 3 hours which is the equivalent of driving from Albany to NYC. Apartment buildings and factories were all that we saw. We knew when were close to Hong Kong because we could smell it. We stayed a night in the Marriott at the Hong Kong airport and it was the best night's sleep we had in 2 weeks. The beds were SO SOFT.
Our flight took off @ 9:30am on Saturday 8/28 and landed back in the SWEET USA @ 1:10pm the same day, so needless to say we have been a bit jet lagged. I have a nasty head cold, but by this morning I think we are all back on schedule... EXCEPT Lily. She was awake all night Saturday and last night too. Dave isn't here right now (5:30am) because he took her out in the car to try to make her fall asleep, he left @ 2am. Our job today is to keep her awake, which is no easy task. This girl is such a good sleeper that she can sleep anywhere, anytime regardless of the noise or light.
We came home to family and friends with a meal cooked and groceries for our refrigerator. Enjoy some pictures and we'll post more later.
What a beautiful gift! We can't wait to meet her! I hope you are all feeling better soon...when you guys are feeling better we'd love to set up a playdate with Lily and Ellie! -The Hentniks
