Not Much to Tell...

Bo successfully completed her first airplane flight.  Man, was I glad to get out of that last town.  Dirty.  And she was an absolute trooper on the plane.  No issues at all.  Nicole and I are sore from lugging her and all our luggage around, but a good sore....of accomplishment.

We are now in Guangzhou, some might know it as Canton. This city is much more commercial.  It is close to two major financial centers in China, Hong Kong and Macau.  In fact, the Canton, Macau, Hong Kong triangle holds 1% of China's population yet 65% of the country's banking occurs here.  A very international city.  In one evening, I have heard many languages being spoken and I have seen multiple ethnic groups.  Bright lights everywhere and lots of shopping and restaurants.

The hotel we are staying in is way too nice for me, but this feels a little more like a vacation. Fancy shops and restaurants...all places that I have no idea how to act in...sounds like a fun time to me.

Tomorrow's agenda includes a medical exam for Bo, some shopping, and then filling out paperwork for the visa that we have to get for her so that she can travel back to the United States with us. We travel so some small island, I think it is called Shiamin or something close to that.

Not much to say today.  Probably much more tomorrow.  I have to thank God for getting us to another destination safely and for God's work in strengthening the bond between Nicole, Bo, and me.

Ate dinner at Subway...that was refreshing....now going to satisfy the little boy in me with some peanut m & ms.

I miss my boys and I wish my girls, who play Ezell-Harding tonight (Friday), victory!

Last, I have to brag on my wife.  Simply put, she is an absolute winner.  There is no one with whom I'd rather be on this journey with.  God, thank you for blinding her more than 14 years ago so she'd agree to marry me!
