NEXT STOP: GUANGZHOU, CHINA

The plan was to be all packed by Sunday night and have Monday to just relax (insert hysterical laughter here). We were still up at 11:30 p.m. last night finding creative ways to get everything in two suitcases. I am happy to report that we did, after ditching our second small suitcase in favor of a larger one provided to us in the 11th hour (thanks Ann and Chad!).

We're taking a lot of donations and I find it ironic that all the things we have were made in China, and are now going back. There must be a better way to do this.

We're all looking forward to buckling up in our seats, knowing that all the work is done, we're on our flight and the long, stressful weeks of preparation are behind us. The next post you read will be coming from the comfort of our hotel room in Guangzhou.

(*We've heard that blog updates from China can be difficult at times so hopefully we'll get posts and photos up without too much trouble.)
