Thursday. Last full day in China

Howard was feeling a bit better today but we had both just hit a major wall. We ate breakfast and went back to the room and just hung out. All three of us took a long nap. We cancelled our lunch plans and just had power bars and less rich food.

We went to Shamain Island one more time. We got a small suitcase to use as a carry-on for the fun things we got along the way and a couple more items. We did a stop off at Starbucks. Teagan likes it there. All the items there are the same as home but they have a few other fun drinks and treats. We then went over to the White Swan Hotel. There we met up one last time with the other two families from our agency and waited for Peter to meet us. Peter brought us all the very important passports with visas and entry folder with paperwork for immigration. We wish we could have hung out with everyone but off we went to pack.

We did one last stop at happy hour. Teagan fell asleep on the highchair. But she was up long enough to eat. On that level you can check out so Teagan and I ate and ate while Howard checked us out. Then off to the room for the major packing. We did ok. Both big checked in suitcases were well within the 44 pound China plane ride limit. Glad we bought the new little suitcase. Well, we meet our car at 5 a.m. to go to airport. Early morning!

The evolution of Chinese Woman statue on Shamian Island. Teagan is the future!

NOT. ALL. SMILES.

All of the younger kids from our agency's group traveling this week. Three adopted this trip, all amazing!

Our guide Peter, a funny faced Teagan and Monique

Too much wine at happy hour again
