Off to Nanchang
Jen woke me up at 12:30AM asking what time it was.  About an hour and a half later she gets up and I hear the shower going.  Not thinking too much of it I waited for her to finish...  I asked her what she was doing and she told me to get up or we'd be late...  I said late for what?  She could have sworn that from the time I told her it was 12:30 AM that she had slept for 5 hours....  She thought it was 5:30AM, the time we needed to get up to get ready to go to Nanchang...  Well after drying off she climbed back into bed...

Since we got up and finished packing early we thought we might hit Starbucks again before hitting the Hotel Breakfast.  It was 7am and it was not open yet!!! Whats up with banker hours for coffee??  Headed back to Hotel and had breakfast.

Left the Hotel at 8:15am and headed to the Airport.

At the Airport we finally got our Starbucks!!! Talk about a big airport. Makes SFO look small. We were sure Maleah’s luggage was over the 44lbs weight limit; though I think after they saw Maleah’s Picture they looked the other way. Flight was crowded, though we lucked out with an Exit Row and had a bit more room.

Arriving in Nanchang
Well after a Bumpy start on the flight, we landed at the Nanchang Airport.

It was out first glimpse of the guys in green. No Pictures please...

One of the couples had an issue with the Agriculture Inspector... forgot he had an apple in his bag. Fortunately they asked him again if he had any fruit.  It was showing....  After some hotel info they were released and free to go.

Our Luggage boarded one bus, we another…

At the Hotel...
Well We'd love to show you recent pictures of Maleah, though there was a change in the scheduling... )-;

We will be going to the civil affairs office tomorrow morning around 10:30am (GMT+8) (7:30PM PDT) to pick up our little girls!  If you saw the national geographic special on China’s Lost Girls, we are told this is the same office.

From what we hear it will be a pretty busy day tomorrow. After picking up Maleah, there is lots of paperwork to be done…

Not that it is any consultation, but we have a picture of where she will be sleeping.
