This is our last day/night in Guangzhou! We are definitely READY to go home! I am so looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tomorrow night. We originally were going to stay at the hotel in Tampa tomorrow night and drive home Friday morning, but have since decided to just get our car and GO! We should arrive home by about 12:30am Friday morning. It's not terribly late. We will be able to sleep in and then venture out to SRCS to introduce Ian to his classmates and Sarah and Emmy's classmates. 3:15pm on Friday afternoon he goes to see Dr. Fialko and get his shots. Hopefully he won't have a feverish reaction or Ms. Kim is gonna kill me when I need a sub again on Monday!! But.. he needs his shots for school, so we have to do it.
Last night we had some fun Skyping with Emmy's 5th grade class with Mr. Goh and then with Sarah's 8th grade class with Mrs. Welter. It was encouraging to see and hear all the crazy kids at a point when we are clearly homesick. I think it gave us the little boost we needed to get through the rest of the trip.
Our last day in the hotel today began with a the wonderful breakfast buffet and then a trip to the playground. The kids had lots of fun there and then we decided to try swimming. That was an adventure. Ian is not real fond of the water. We worked through it a bit and made some progress, but needless to say I am very glad we installed the safety fence around the pool before we left. We have been taking it easy most of the afternoon and now it's time to finish packing. We need to get to bed early tonight since we need to be down to breakfast by 6am or so.
I hope all the little blurbs I got posted on the blog and Facebook today will be good enough to hold all you "stalkers" over for a while. I won't be able to post much while we are traveling tomorrow. At this time I'm asking for lots of prayers! Ian has experienced one, 60 minute airplance ride so far and now tomorrow he will have 3 different planes and a total of about 19 hours flying time and 7 hours layover time. Thank you in advance! Love you guys!!! XOXOXO
This picture is Ian working on his letters. He loves to write his letters and numbers.
Yippeee!! Travel will be rough but there's nothing like being home! You're almost there. Can't wait to see pics of Ian in HIS house :)
