Arrived In China

Flight was great. No problems. Food did not agree with us on the plane. Both of us got sick from something they served.  Angie and I spent the last part of the flight stationed at a bathroom.  One was in the center, while the other was at the back.  The girls happily slept. We could not sit down, without having to rush back to the bathroom.  Looking back, I wonder if it was more that we did not sleep much the night before. 

As we walked off the plan, we started to feel better.  That is until we saw the people monitoring for bird flu.  They had temperature gauges monitoring body heat.  When we saw this, we started to get nervous.  If we were sick, they would have quaranteened us.  Luckily, we had a distraction.  Kayla.  When they saw her, they started to smile and point at her.  This was the start of Kayla's China tour.  She was the star attraction.  Little did we know that it would cause problems later on down the line. 

Once we made it past the checkpoint, we had to find our guide.  Her name was Veronica.  Our first guide, on Michelle's adoption, was named Veronica.  We did not know if it would be the same person.  Low and behold, it was.  She was going to guide us through another adoption. 

Things are great today so far. We have a store nearby and a McDonald's, so Michelle is happy. Tomorrow, Qin Qin will be brought to the hotel. We are not allowed to visit the orphanage due to Swine Flu. Had plenty of check sites set up at Airport and Hotel. Veronica is the same person who was our translator on the last trip and she remembered us.
