Last Day in Guangzho

This is my last post from the White Swan in Guangzho. I am sitting here in the hotel room while James and our beautiful daughter are out shopping. I have been sick to the point of dehydration for the last 2 days. I don't know why I could be sick. I guess it could be because I have eaten things like escargot, horse meat, duck, and Lord knows what else. All I know is that I will be really glad to sit down for a meal and not wonder whether the head is going to be on the plate or not. James has been making me rest like a good mother hen! We have our final appointment at the US Consulate at 4pm today for an exit interview about Mira. Then we will spend the night at the Royal Lagoon in Donguan and take a ferry to Hong Kong first thing in the morning. We will fly out of Hong Kong to Chicago and from Chicago to Charlotte. Mom, please don't forget to come get us! Mira is nine months old and will have traveled more in those 8 months than I did the first 35 years of my life. Don't worry, she is taking it all in stride. On her first plane ride, she greeted everyone around us and laughed the entire time. This German group came up to me after we got off the plane and told me that she was hilarious and that they laughed at her the entire 2 hour flight! This girl and her dad who were from Nashville said they hoped they were on the same flight home with us so they could play with Mira. My daughter is so popular already! Now the real question is, who is going to get to hold Mira first when we get home? We only take the highest bidder!!!!!!!!
