Travel dates

We can't believe it is finally here. We will fly to China May 10th which is Ellie's birthday. We will spend a day touring Beijing seeing the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square... Then, we will fly to Guangzhou; this is the capital of Ellie's province, Guangdong. Guangzhou is called the Gate to China as the major trade center. We will be staying in the famous White Swan Hotel. Apparently thousands of families pass through here monthly adopting these precious babies. Our Gotcha Day (the day we get Ellie) is May 14th. Because of the time change, this will actually happen after you guys in the US go to bed on Mother's Day. This is a Mother's Day I will never forget! We will stay in Guangzhou until the 26th. We are arriving home the first day of the kids' summer break. Thank you for all the offers to help with the kids; we are going to miss them horribly and your friendship is certainly going to help make the time fly by faster for them (and for their grandparents who are making all of this possible).
