Winding Down

Hi there! Gene here posting again. Just a few days left here in China and we'll be home. Honestly, we're all pooped and ready to be on the plane. Sunday was a down-time day with some souvenir shopping and an evening trip on the Pearl River Dinner Cruise. The shopping mall was, of course, China-huge, and it totally overstimulated Zoey, who spaced out for a while in the afternoon, even after a nap. We're learning that too much eye-candy and activity for her is not healthy. This is actually somewhat true of Eden as well, but not quite so pronounced.

Today (Monday) is our US Consulate appointment. We leave the hotel in about an hour to do our final US paperwork and get Zoey's entry visa for the USA. Then tomorrow it's back to Hong Kong via train to catch our flight to the states. I have a little surprise planned for Eden. She and I are leaving on a much earlier train since only one parent has to wait on the US visa to be delivered. That will give me time to take Eden for 1/2 day to Hong Kong Disneyland. She has no idea--will be a total surprise. I'm not going to tell her until we are on the train.

Thanks again to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Appreciate the Facebook posts and the emails as very welcome contact with home.
