In China
All Days  |  Previous Day  |  Next Day

Friday, March 11, 2016 We got to sleep in this morning. Actually slept until 7am. That's a victory for Allison and I! After breakfast, we walked down the street to an underground Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart in China is always an interesting place. You can buy Pantene shampoo, Dove body wash and Tide detergent. The packaging is a little different, with Chinese characters on it, but still the same product. Of course, there are a few things you won't see at Walmart back home. Things like live frogs and fish, maybe even a small live alligator, that you pick out yourself. We decided to eat lunch in our room so we could pack. We made a noodle bowl for Nicole, which she loves. After lunch and packing, we decided to go to Haagen-Dazs for ice cream! It's interesting to be sitting in an ice cream shop in downtown Chongqing watching the hustle and bustle of a busy Chinese city while listening to Michael Buble. Our flight to Guangzhou was delayed 30-40 minutes, but we finally made it. Nicole did fabulous on the airplane! She had a lot of fun watching take off from the window. We are at the beautiful Garden Hotel with the rest of the Lifeline families. I believe there are 7 families in our group. Nicole was worn out, so we put her to bed as soon as we got to the room. She was asleep in less than 5 minutes. Tomorrow morning we go for the medical check-up that is required by the U.S. government. After that, tomorrow appears to be a day of paperwork and shopping for a few essentials like water and snacks.
