Day 1: Sunday Nov 5 We’ve made it to Guiyang in Guizhou Province! The flight from Chicago to Beijing was 13 hours. We then transferred to a domestic flight and flew from Beijing to Guiyang, the capital city of Guizhou Province. We arrived here about 11:00 Saturday night and settled in to the Howard Johnson Plaza. Despite the fact there is no orange roof, it’s a lovely hotel! We’re all on the 28th floor, windows overlooking a busy and bustling city. It was a calm morning with breakfast, a group meeting and quick walks in the neighborhood or trips to the small grocery next door to pick up supplies. The children from Duyun Social Welfare will be arriving at 2:30, the ones from Guiyang at 3:30. It’s only two hours to go. The children will be brought to the hotel. The sense of excitement and anticipation is amazing! -Jane (The pictures of the children's arrival are included here. -Mark) Back Index Page 1: Waiting For Arrival 2: Annika, Bryan & Sara 3: Madeline, Randy & Sarah 4: Elizabeth, John & Carol 5: Alex, John & Sara 6: Elle Lin, Tom & Kathy 7: Katie & Jenn 8: Julia, Chris & Jean 9: Katie & Grandpa Michael Back Index Page 10: Katie 11: Alex & Sara 12: Elizabeth & Carol 13: Julia & Jean 14: Alex & John 15: Elizabeth & Foster Mom 16: Elle Lin & Foster Mom 17: Elle Lin & Foster Mom 18: Julia Back Index Page 19: Annika 20: Annika
