Made it to Hong Kong tonight...

So we are settled in the hotel in Hong Kong.  Feels like we a giant step closer to home with the more western culture here...

Goodnight!
 The last couple of days in Ghuangzhou were warm in weather and busy in activities with the Consulate appointment, shopping, and sightseeing.  We liked our hotel and it was nice to connect with the three other adoptive families who were staying at The Garden Hotel, also.

We were lucky to get an "apartment" with
some extra room for us tall Americans.
Ni Hao!!  (hello)!!


Lunch - Meili eats her veges first.
Wonder how long that will last...

In the hotel lobby ready for the US Consulate Appointment
with our new, precious friend,  Ashlyn.

Visa Approved for Meili!  Congrats Brace Family!

Looking around town and LOVE this bakery called
 "Surprise Me." 
Everything we tried in the last few days was  delicious,
Andrew was a huge fan of the dough twists...
Andrew, Meili and I walked to a park and rented
a paddle boat to cruise around this pond
Meili waiting for the van to Hong Kong,
she's loving the iPad...
Has been a wonderful journey thus far but we all missing our home, our friends, our family, and our Bandit.  Hong Kong is an amazing place and so much more western than our last few destinations in China.  Had the best dinner tonight than in the last 10 days or so. Risotto, pasta, seafood bisque, we all were able to order our favorites at the hotel restaurant.  We are all looking forward to seeing some sights in Hong Kong in the next few days and hitting Hong Kong Disneyland.  Then....HOME!!
