Only two more panicking days before take-off!! We are all set but for a few loose ends. I wanted everyone to be able to have an idea of where we will be so you can picture our trip during the day when you are busy praying for us (while we are sleeping on the other side of the Earth)! We will be flying on a Continental Boeing 777-300 to Beijing and back from Hong Kong. The China domestic flights will all be on China Southern Airlines. http://boeing.com/commercial/777family/longer_range/index.html
We will stay at the Novotel Peace Hotel in Beijing until Easter morning when we fly to Wuhan. For members of Redeemer who may be reading this... we were thinking of calling Lynn's cell phone right in the middle of service to wish everyone a Happy Easter... we expect the ringer will be on!! (Just kidding!) http://www.novotel.com/fichehotel/gb/nov/3115/fiche_hotel.shtml
On Monday, morning we think, we get Megan!! We expect that she will be brought to the hotel for us, but we aren't sure. We are staying at the Hongguang Hotel in Wuhan. It is relatively new and I can't find a good source for it on the web, so I will have to post photos when we get there. Megan and her "sisters" 
will be traveling from Qichun, which is about an hour away by train, or about three by bus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qichun
will be traveling from Qichun, which is about an hour away by train, or about three by bus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QichunOn the following Friday evening, or about 5:00AM US Eastern time, we take off for Guangzhou and will spend our final days at the luxurioius White Swan Hotel.
We will have a wonderful time experiencing Megan's beautiful and historical world while we are there, but we already can't wait to be back home!!! See you soon, and hope to hear from you over the next couple of weeks right here or in our email. Love and peace to all, and to all a reassuring Holy Week and a beautiful Easter day! We miss everyone already!!

The hotels look absolutely stunning. I love a good hotel and hope that the wonderful surroundings add to the elation you must be feeling about this journey. Our thoughts are with you (and John wants to know....are you sure you don't need a translator along?)
I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to meet her. Have an amazing trip.
