CA and Dinner Cruise

So, today we had our official consulate appointment (CA)! We were not allowed to take any pictures, but it was a quick and painless process. So, after having our CA, heading back to the hotel and taking a group picture, having lunch at the local mexican restaurant (we ordered the santa fe pizza and it was delicious!), we all met back up at 5:30 for the grand finale of our trip . . . the dinner cruise! (Well, I would call it more of a dinner boat ride.)

Anyway, after that we came back to the room and I am currently trying to fit all of our things into the three suitcases we are allowed.

This may be our last blog post from China, because we are scheduled to arrive in Atlanta Saturday afternoon. So, our luggage will get picked up at 2:15 pm tomorrow and we will be driven to the train station at 3:00 pm. Then, we will wait at the train station until Rebecca or Miko (our fantastically fabulous guides) bring us Ellie's official visa. Then, the train leaves for Hong Kong at 5:30 pm and we will spend the night in Hong Kong. Next, we will leave the hotel in Hong Kong around 5:00 am to get to the Hong Kong airport to catch a flight to Tokyo Japan. Then, we will fly from Tokyo to Atlanta, hopefully surviving the 12 hour flight with all of our wits, arriving in Atlanta around 3:30 pm Saturday afternoon.

A kiss for daddy!
