We’re home!

January 22nd, 2010

We are finally home, arriving late last night.  Thanks to our friend Tiffany who picked us up at the airport!  Mabel slept until 2:00 this afternoon, and still looks beat!  So now we are off to get some errands done before everything is closed.  And we are both wanting to get a taco at Taco Bell!

The trip went fine.  Asiana is a great airline, so helpful, so kind.  Long flights, long lines to get through the 4 different stages of immigration in Seattle.  That’s not convenient to say the least!  No tears on the flights, though.   We were lucky to get 3 seats for ourselves on the 10 hour flight, so Mabel was able to lay down and get a few hours of sleep.  Then she slept another couple hours on the floor in Seattle airport.  Funny.

Best part of the trip was in Guangzhou airport.  There were about 25 buddhists taking the same flight.  We couldn’t communicate with them, but several of them came over and smiled at Mabel.  They gave her a couple candy bars and a cute little trinket bag.  Very nice and kind people. 

We are missing our new friends back in China, and wish we could see them all again soon!  Too bad that there are so many thousands of miles between us all.   We are glad to be seeing family and friends at home also!  Although family is spread all around right now, we will be seeing most of them soon.
