Hello from China!!
Well, we are finally in China safe and sound. We flew into Hong Kong last night and because of our wonderful airline (HaHa), we missed the last ferry to China. We stayed at a nice hotel at the airport. Honestly, the hotel could have been a dump and I never would have noticed because I was so tired. I woke up this morning and got a bad case nerves/home sickness, threw up, and called my mommy and daddy! I felt better once I heard their voices but already can't wait to go home. We took a train for about an hour to get to a ferry, which took another hour. Talk about planes, trains, and automobiles!! The train and ferry were very nice but taking a ferry when you are already nauseous is not a good thing. We are now at the Royal Lagoon Hotel in Guandong, where James is going to work for a few hours. This is the most beautiful hotel I have ever seen and we are staying here for a whopping $75 a night. Tomorrow we fly to Kunming where our daughter is. I have found myself looking at every Chinese girl and wondering if Mira will look like them when she grows up. I will try to upload some pictures of the hotel later. Goodbye from China for now!
Love,
Leslie & James

Congrats! We have been looking forward to hearing about your trip. Our daughter is most likely waiting, right now, in the same orphanage. The thought just makes me dizzy. Post pics of Mira when you can!! What a day that will be for your family and for her.
Wow!

I'm glad you're safely in China-not sure where you are this minute because it's hard to figure out the time difference. Do you think Mira knows her mommy & daddy are so close? I think she does! Thursday will be here before you know it. Can't wait to see more pictures. :)
Love you all.

Hey James and Leslie,
Can't wait to here about Mira. Glad you guys are safe. You have been in my prayers. I had to convince Adam that your plane wasn't going to crash. He insisted on watching the documentary on Flight 93 on 9/11. I told him NO terrorists were on your plane! He was ok with that. Everything is ok at home. Got your computer working this morning. Hurry up and come home with our newest addition to the family!
Love, Debbie
