Hello from Nanjing

We arrived safely in Nanjing as planned and checked into our hotel all is well but we are tired and fighting to stay awake to get over this jet lag. I spoke with the in country coordiantor today and we need to meet her in the lobby Monday am at 10am to go get Matthew. Now that I am here in China I just want to go get him now.  Steve and I are hoping to feel more human tomorrow after hopefully a full nights sleep and we will be out and about in Nanjing getting the lay of the land. Oh I almost forgot Happy New Year to all    I'll post soon    Kate

glad to hear that all is well. Have fun exploring and looking forward to the post with pictures of you with Matthew finally in your arms!!! One thing I bought for both of the girls while in China was beautifully illustrted books about thier province. Ask your local guide to take you to the local book store. Guangzhou (White Swan Hotel--not sure where you are staying) has a book store too, but you get a bigger selection in Province. The girls love looking at their books! Getting closer.......
