Last day in Shenyang!!

We are sitting in our hotel room once again today. We have to start packing up all our things and perparing for the flight to Gongzhou tomorrow morning at 6AM. We are ready to go on to Guangzhou. We are getting a little stir crazy in the room. But if you could see outside our hotel, you would not leave either. You are taking life into your own hands, if you try and cross the street. Now that we have Bella, there is NO way I would try it. We have a new guide taking us to the airport in the morning, and I hope she speaks English. Her name is Li Xiao Xi. So it does not sound promising.

Bella and Daddy are playing chase. She loves to be tickled and chased. I am not sure who likes it more her or daddy. It is good bonding time for them.
We walked around the hotel and there are many shops. Too bad they are all name brands, way to expensive. Bryan was going to get Bella a new back pack. Until he noticed he was in Prada. Can you imagine? The bag was $4000 RMB. Which is about $550.00 US.

We miss you all and can not wait to get home soon. When we get to Guangzhou, we will try and get a calling card. Please pray that Bella's first flight goes well. She is good at the meltdown if she is not happy.

We love and miss you,
Joy, Bryan and Bella
I am not sure if this one has been posted I have done so much today So here goes

Day ???????






I have no idea what day it is or how long we have been here, but we got Bella's passport and all of our paperwork delivered to us by Coco our guide who has been a great help to us. We have everything we need from here in Shenyang, but we still have to wait until Sat to fly back to Guangzhou to meet up with the rest of the families and finish lots of paperwork. We did nothing exciting today except for photo Bella and video her. We did tour around our hotel a little. The hotel that we are staying at has some really pricey boutiques. Bryan tried to get Bella a new backpack until he realized it was Prada.
We lay around and watch only one tv channel that is in English. We have watched one episode of American Idol 3 times over and over but we can understand it, so we watch.


We love and miss you,
Bryan, Joy and Bella Kate
