We arrived in Guangzhou and the White Swan Hotel last night at 9 p.m. our time.
Jeannie did great on the flight. She was so excited when the saw the airplane. She was not afraid at all, and laughed and screamed when we took off. When they brought us a "box snack" and a drink, you would have thought she won the lottery! She was so surprised to have this given to her! We keep reminding ourselves that this is something that she has never experienced and everything is "new" to her.
Today we go for her "medical exam". We have been told that she will get several immunizations. We are hoping that she does OK.
Gia is doing great. She is watching me type right now :)
I will post photos later today,

What a wonderful first plane ride. Let's pray she enjoys the one to the U.S. as much!
I am having a great time reading about the girls, I bet I am in for a very similar ride in a few months, I can only hope it will be half as smooth. I had to laugh out loud at the spitting incident...my Jia would be shocked into a statue I think! She is very quick to correct and "mother" other kids, even when they are older than she...wonder how that will work out! Time will tell...
Keep the stories coming, I am learning so much,
Sue, momma to Jia, waiting for Juni still in China ;-)
