Taxi's, buses, vans and planes oh my!

     I hate motion sickness!! I have been dealing with it the entire trip. I have tried to sit in the front seat of all the vehicles we have been riding in. The taxi's in China are the worst. They would be awesome Nascar drivers, weaving in and  of traffic coming within inches of every car they pass.  Thank God for Meclizine. Today we had our flight to Guangzhou. It was delayed, which meant no lunch. We finally board the plane and thankfully Sophia slept the entire flight. She only woke up while we were boarding the bus to get to the terminal.  She was facing out in the carrier and proceeded to scream and try to turn her head around to make sure I was still back there. I assume she saw a sea of chinese people and wondered where her blonde white mama was.
    We checked in to our last hotel! The Garden Hotel is beautiful. So many different types of gorgeous flower arrangements. We decided on the "Tekila" mexican restaurant. NOT so good. Terry's  mexi-burger was raw in the middle and Olivia's meal was never served.  We are sure missing Guiseppes and El Caporal!!! Our friends, Adam, Stacie, Riley and Maggie head home tomorrow. Stacie came up to our room tonight to meet Sophia. Getting ready for bed as we have Sophia's medical exam and visa photo in the morning. Night, night from Guangzhou, Guangdong China. ;)
Here are a few pics of our day...

 She sleeps with a blanket in her mouth LOL!

Glad you guys made it to Guangzhou safely... almost time to come home! I recognize the floor in the Jiangxi airport... We changed our girls' diapers on the floor right in the middle of the airport at our gate because we got there right before it was time to board, and there was nowhere in sight that would have a changing station. Have you found Starbucks?? LOL!
