Good-bye Kunming.....Hello Guangzhao

We left Kunming City today for Guangzhao. We had a pretty uneventful morning of packing and the usual stuff -- my least favorite part of this trip ---- packing with two kids in tow. But, Michael and I are a good team and we get it done. We left a lot of things behind in Kunming City for the orphanage.........at least the things we had and didn't need won't be wasted. Our guide and driver helped us to the airport, which was a God-send. There's not much English in the airport in Kunming City - but she got us to the check-in and we figured it out from there. One picture is of us in the bus going to the plane --you get to the plane in KC by riding a bus that is PACKED full of people - then you get out on the tarmac and board. Anyway, we navigated it just fine and Ally's first plane ride was uneventful and even enjoyable. Lindsay is feeling much better -- so we were all in good shape to travel. We met our guide, Judy, in the Guangzhao airport. A really nice lady........we went thru what we would need for the paperwork and medical checkup for Sunday after checking into the hotel -- and by that time, it was 9pm. Judy did tell us how to order a Pepe's pizza, which we were thankful for..........those little touches of home make it all so much easier at times! Don't get me wrong - we love experiencing the culture here.......but sometimes, you just have to have a slice of pizza! Off to bed.......we have our medical check-up for Ally tomorrow -- and, you guessed it - more paperwork!! Also hoping to see friends from CT who have lived here for a few years.........that will also be a welcomed oasis!
