July 15,2007-travel to Changsa
Sorry about the late post. We were up early as usual around 4:30am. We took pictures in the lobby and outside and went to breakfast. All the families traveled to the airport at 8;30am. Some left as early as 9:15 flights. Our flight was 11:15. Our luggage that was checked was stopped after xray due to the hairspray can. They opened our luggage and smelled it. We were finally cleared to go. We said our goodbyes to all the families and we went to our gate and waited. Our flight was fine and we landed in Changsa around 1:30pm. Susan our guide met us and took us to our hotel. She took us to this little grocery store down some alley first to buy waters and softdrinks and snacks for our room. Once in our room we messed around checking everything out. We soon all crashed on the beds around 4pm. We thought we'd sleep a few hours. Well I woke up at 1am and saw Tim sitting up watching TV. He said he had just woke up. We watched a movie for a little while and discussed ordering from the 24 hr room service but decided to go back to bed and Hannah and I slept until 4am. It is now 4:45 and Hannah has had her bath and is dressed to go. We are only 5 hours from getting Gracie! We leave at 9:15 and arrive at civil affairs at 9:30. Please be praying as we get out precious litte girl. We will post again tonight with pictures of Gracie.
