Guangzhou Arrival!

Just wanted to let everyone know we did arrive in Guangzhou last night.  Our flight was delayed an hour and a half due to weather in Guangzhou so by the time we arrived at the hotel and checked in it was close to 10 and Phynley was sound asleep.  I was able to move her from the ERGO to her crib without her waking up though and she slept through the night.
We had a pretty low key day yesterday.  Sissi brought us all her documents-birth certificate, adoption decree and Chinese passport yesterday at 11:30.  We were pretty surprised we were able to get the passport since they moved to the electronic chip, but we did!  So we were able to leave Nanchang with everything in hand!
We got to see Sissi's apartment which was pretty cool.  I had never been in a Chinese home, except for our friend Kim's apartment and while she lives in China she isn't Chinese so I thought styles might be different.  Her apartment was on the 24th floor but was very nice.  I was able to remember to take out my camera and get at least a few pictures!
The rest of our day was spent traveling to/from airports and waiting in airports.
This morning we are off to get Phynley's visa physical done. Praying it goes smoothly! Not sure what else is on the agenda!

Will post more tonight but here a few photos from Sissi's apartment..

Etching on the floor to ceiling mirror..beautiful!

Not joking...think she actually might have seen one of these before..:)

Apparently she didn't like National Geographic...

She's so cute! And that apartment is stark! Wow! Looks like no one actually lives there.
