Planes, trains, and automobiles

Yesterday was another long travel day! We had no appointments or excursions planned so we stayed at the hotel and swam and took the kids to the pool. It is a long standing tradition to dress your child in their traditional Chinese silk clothing and take their picture on the red couch. Sadly, the White Swan hotel is closed for renovations and you can not get to the famous "red couch" anymore. So we dressed up the kids and settled for a brown couch photo. It was great! Jack cried and Ali gave us her serious, stink eye face. Tai and Avery were typical stubborn kids. They all did look very cute. Then we all loaded on the bus to get our kids passports and visas and immigration papers. Then it was off to the train station. Our kids both did great on their first train ride! The train had squatty potties with a hole that literally opened to the tracks!!!! Luckily, no one fell through! We finally got to our hotel around 10 pm. We leave today to fly home!!!! We are all ready to be home. Jason is sick. Thereis a typhoon headed to Hong Kong and it is already raining. Please pray that we make it out of here. None of us can stand to get stranded here. See you all very soon!
