We made it

This post is being sent courtesy of Richards blackberry. Blogger is blocked, but to our surprise Sprint is not.

We arrived in Guangzhou at 5:30 am Sunday China time after a relatively uneventful flight. After having the temperature guns pointed at our heads by hazmat specialists we were allowed to leave the plane.

The Guangzhou airport is enormous and very cool. The worst part of the trip was waiting 4 hrs for our flight to Hangzhou.

Upon landing in Hangzhou we were happy to see our guide Kelly waiting for us. She was smiling and waving a green Great Wall flag.

A 40 minute drive brought us to the Hangzhou hotel which Kelly described as old. The hotel is actually quite nice. We have a lovely 2 room suite and are close to many amenities including a bank, lots of shops and Papa Johns pizza which we had for dinner.

We pick up Maddie Monday at 9am which is Sunday evening in the US.

That's all for now.

Anxiously awaiting posts and pics! I'm guessing it's still feeling fairly surreal. You are in our prayers, as we're asking for a swift and safe return home.

Love, Mare(and the rest of the brood!)
