Today was our last day here in Guangzhou. We spent the morning finishing up our taking pictures, shopping, packing, and Chloe and I played in the Swan Room. The Swan room is a play room here at the hotel provided by Mattel. It is an open space with toys and kids. Chloe loves to play there and especially watch the older kids play.
This afternoon, we headed to the US Consulate, had a quick ceremony and received Chloe's visa to enter the US. When we are in Chicago for our layover she will officially become a US citizen.
We spent the evening at a wonderful Italian restaurant and are now holed up in our hotel packing everything. Luckily we bought an extra suitcase here, and i just have to balance the weight amongst them. Of course, Chloe is helping out by getting into EVERYTHING I set out. And Dennis is helping out by generally getting in the way :)
We wake up tomorrow at 5 am, and will be checking out of the hotel around 6:45.
We know this trip from the planning stages to each day has been covered in your prayers. Please continue to pray for us. Tomorrow will be an incredibly long day for each of us. Pray for health, safety, flights that are on time, short lines in security, immigration and customs, that Chloe will sleep, and anything else you can think of.
We leave at 9:30 am from Guangzhou, land in DFW at 10:10 pm, and have a total of 18 hours of flying time and 7 1/2 hours of layovers.
