Today we had to have our luggage outside our door at 5:20am and be on the bus at 5:45am. There was some significant shifting between suitcases, weighing, moving more stuff, reweighing, etc... but, we got our 3 suitcases all to less than the 20kg limit. The China Air flight was fine (much better food, space, and friendliness than our Delta flight to China!).
It's 97 degrees and steamy here...
We are now settled in the White Swan hotel in Guangzhou. We have one suite (on the 23rd floor with a beautiful view of the Pearl river) where we're all planning to hang out and a separate room so we have 3 beds. The beds here are still hard but not nearly as much as Beijing. The room also has a crib all ready for Sonia's arrival.
We got water and Coke Zero from the 7-11 across the street, unpacked all our stuff (as we'll be here for 11 days) and are now relaxing in the room. Our guide is planning a group dinner for tonight.
Tomorrow is the big day... Sonia Day! It's hard to believe and I'm feeling rather edgy (excited and nervous at the same time). Thank goodness for great friends who try hard to keep me sane!
