Merrin's first trip to Guangzhou

We made it to Guangzhou today and Merrin did pretty good for her first plane ride. We are both happy we had this trial run before our big travel day next Friday. We now know to make sure we are stocked with cheerios and crackers plus we need to get some new toys to keep her occupied for a 25-hour travel day. We checked into the Victory hotel around 2:00 and our hotel is very nice. We have a standard room but it has separate area with a computer and a desk, refrigerator and table and sofa. It is nice to have the extra space and Merrin enjoyed checking everything out before heading to bed at 7:00pm. This area is very neat, it kind of reminds us of Savannah, very different from Changsha. We ate at Lucy's this afternoon it is an American style restaurant. We had cheese burgers and fries which was very good! We will be trying some new local Chinese style restaurants tomorrow for dinner. Our guides are telling us we are the "young group". They said they have never had a group like ours who wants to leave the hotel and try new restaurants ever night! OK, I better go to bed. Merrin will be up soon, the girl does not like to sleep but she is so darn cute we don't care!

Love,

Wendy and Joey
