In her new crib at the Sheraton Dong Guan
The real Angelina! - In her extrmely dangerous crib that we had to cover with a comforter!

Monday was our last day in Nanning. We did some last minute shopping near the hotel and packed. It wasn't easy trying to squeeze everything into our luggage. We left the hotel at 4:00. We went to the airport and our flight was delayed a half hour. The babies were all crying on the plane. We got a few looks when Angelina was unconsolable. She DOES NOT like to sit.

Then we got a bus to Guangzhou. We were about 3 minutes from hotel and the the bus driver hit the car in front of him. We reached the hotel around 10:30 pm. I won't elaborate on how the children felt, but it wasn't pretty.

Then we waitied over 2 hours to get our luggage in our room. We ended up going to bed around 1:30am. We are all very tired. Now Sandeep has a cold too.

Tuesday morning and we are NOT well rested. Breakfast was good. They had some American food for breakfast!! We are at the Marriot and it's VERY nice. It's a BIG change from the hotel in Nanning! All the families are babck together from their trips to the different provinces.

At 1:30 we head to Guangzhou for the babies medical visits. Then we do some shopping on Shamen Isalnd (not sure of spelling). And THEN we go on a dinenr cruise of the Pearl River. We should be back to the hotel around 10:00-10:30. The babies are having difficulty with the schedule. Actually so are the parents. Some of the families are asking to get a bus back to the hotel after the medicals because their children are sick. It's just too much to keep a baby on a bus or roaming around the streets for so long; and it's so difficult to do diaper changes and make bottels. We have 2 buses full of families, so maybe we can split up. We are praying that Angelina poops before we leave the hotel. We put prunes in her formula :) Pray that it works on time!! :)

It won't be long now 'til you're home.
Hip, hip hooray....
You're more than half way done in China, correct? When do you head back home? I think you'll find that your daughter does well on the flight back to the U.S. She'll likely sleep most of the way. Some of the families on our trip gave their daughters baby Benedryl so they'd sleep, but Carmelina slept alot anyway without that...Must of been something about cabin air.
It is quite an adventure, but I'm sure you can't wait to get back. And we're all waiting anxiously.
I love Angelina's dress!
Love, Mary Ellen, Mark and Carmy
