We made it safely to the White Swan Hotel this evening. What a delightful flight we had! It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that we were given first class seats for Adam's first flight. :-) By the way, he did beautifully! This little guy is quite the traveler; he fell asleep within fifteen minutes of takeoff and slept through our landing in Guangzhou. (I don't know how he could; it was a pretty rough landing!) The minute we stepped out of the airport, it literally took our breath away. It certainly made us appreciate the beautiful (and often cool...for a Floridian, that is) weather we had in Nanjing. I guess it will help us re-acclimate to Florida's stifling summers.
Before take-off for Guangzhou...
Hope he doesn't get TOO used to this!

Hope he doesn't get TOO used to this! Somewhere along the communication line, we got our times mixed up and ended up on our own for dinner. First stop...Lucy's! It was nice to settle in for a little Americanized cuisine, followed by a brisk stroll through the torrential downpour.
Do you think she's happy to see some American food? She lived on rice and broccoli the entire time we were in Nanjing!
The atmosphere of Shamian Island is much more relaxed than the other cities we've visited on this trip. This is truly like a vacation!!! We can't wait until tomorrow when we can explore some more of the island in daylight.
