Friday was a travel day from Chongqing to Guangzhou. The day started out with a group photo of all of the families on the staircase of the Hilton. Then, after getting everything together, we headed to the airport for the 1 1/2 hour flight to Guangzhou. This was the trial run for the long flight home.

Saturday was spent getting Abigail's visa photo and her medical exam. Cindy completed the last of the paperwork for the US Consulate. YEAH!!!! Russ took a nap with Abigail. After which, was shopping in the local shops for things to give Abigail in her future years.
