Journey Day 12 - Sophia's First Flight
After 8 days and 7 nights we leave Nanning. We left the hotel around 10:30 and took the 1 hour bus ride to the airport. Got through the airport with no problems and took a 1 hour flight to Guangzhou. The babies did great on the flight, it was really bumpy landing and some of them started crying then. Sophia did great! It took almost 2 hours to get all of our luggage and get loaded and out of the airport once we arrived. Another 1 hour bus ride to our hotel but this is the nicest hotel on our trip. We are staying on Shamien Island, this is a small island on the bay of Guangzhou that used to be owned and controlled by England so it is very westernized. There are a lot of people from around the world staying here adopting babies.

Mike - that picture of you and Sophi is a keeper! Looking thru the eyes of a mother, but it is really good. Loved the ones of Maggie and Sophi. Can you believe it is almost over? So many stories to tell. See you soon.
Love, Granny LaDanta
Happy to see the date July 4th which means 3 more days to coming home. It was so quite around here everyone doing their own thing just waiting for the NEWLINS.
My heart just skiped a beat when I saw those two sweet babie togethers.
Wish you could just come on to Tulsa. But with all that long trip behind you some rest is due.
Prayers are still on my lips for all of YOU.
Have a group hug for me.
Love Grandma Jane
Megan shared your good news with me and told me to check out your blog. Wow! I would say she was worth the wait! What a doll baby! A precious answered prayer!
Congratulations! You all look so in love with her and so happy!
God is good!
