We managed to fit all this and MUCH MUCH more in our 2 suitcases and 2 carry ons - quite impressive!
Of course we found Coke in China
Umm this was my large coffee? I am going to have to find bigger cups for sure!!
We are here in China, it was surely quite a travel experiance and I am not sure I know what the word SLEEP means, but we are here safe and sound. Our flights were all great and smooth no problems at all. We were met in the Jinan airport by our guide Missy and she is adorable and sweeetttt! She got us checked into our hotel.. (after a scary as heck car ride.. I might have to apologize to my hubby for picking on his driving as WOW, there is some scary driving going on here and it isnt exactly safe being a pedestrian either! ) we are checked into our hotel, ate some authentic Chinese lunch. Our guide took us out to lunch and it was one of those places where if you didnt live here, you would never find it. There were all kinds of neat food to see and some that didnt smell to pretty, but our lunch was great! We hit Walmart (whew it is croweded here, not used to seas of people) and got a few snacks for our room. We are going to chill for the rest of the day as it is almost 4pm here and we havent slept in days. We meet Luke tomorrow at 9:30am. We are so excited we dont know what to do with ourselves! We promise to update you when we can! Pray for us and our son tomorrow!

Glad you made it safely, if a little sleep-deprived. I laughed at the coffee cup photo because that's the size coffee cup that our restaurants used to use, too, until the super size trend started.
Hope you get some rest before the big event!

YaY!!! So excited for you all and can't wait to see you with your new son! :)
So glad that your travels went well - you arrived at a decent time of day - you may even have gotten some sleep on the right time zone!! I did forget to mention driving and traffic - note that none of the cars have any damage on them - they may drive crazy - but they never crash! When out on the street on foot - the key is to 'show no fear' - don't be stupid - but they won't run you down! :)
Coffee cups (your husband is like me!!) Just keep getting re-fills - and you'll have to live with the coffee or switch to tea - they just can't get their heads around a good cup of coffee there!
My bride just asked me who I was 'typing too' when I told her you - she laughed - "I just got to their blog!" - we're pulling and praying for ya'll!
By now you should have met your son - so looking forward to hearing about it - great joy for you guys!
hugs - aus and co.
So happy you are in China! I cannot wait to see Luke with you! I'm praying, knowing it will be a huge transition! God has prepared you for this journey and I am so blessed to get to follow along.
Hugs!
