The hotel in Chengdu is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are now at the Crown Plaza Hotel in downtown Chengdu (pronounced Cheng-doo.) I upgraded to a suite with a king bed, seperate lounge area and 2 bathrooms. Nana has a connecting room to ours and Grandma Peg has a room 9 doors down. I think this room assignment worked out best as I don't have to worry about my girls leaving the room on their own and going to Nana and Grandma Pegs room constantly. This way, atleast, we have 2 connecting rooms and a quiet room for naps!! For my adoption friends, I highly recommend the Crown Plaza HOtel Premiere rooms!!! Everything and more here!!! I'll try and post pics of our hotel room later.
Let me back up a bit....We said good0bye to our wonderful coordinator Nancy in Beijing! She was adorable and it was so nice to have her in Beijing. We felt safe the whole time and Nancy went out of her way to do what was needed for us!! THANK YOU NANCY!!!!!!!!!!! Here's a pic of us leaving the Novotel Peace Hotel in Beijing!
Today we flew out of Beijing via plane to Chengdu! Chengdu is home of "HOt and Spicey" food! Children born in Sichuan Province are said to be "hot and spicey!" Yes, Magnus is considered a "hot and spicey" babe! Meaning both behavior and temperment! And Yes, I should be scared!!!!
The flight was highly eventful!!! Gabriella had major diahrea and stomach pains , Jocelyn had overactive bladder issues, and Ahnya puked on a man next to her on the flight!!!!!!! I am NOT exaggerating either!!!!! All this happened in the 2 1/2 hours on the flight!!! Nuts!!!
Nana and Grandma Peg are exhausted and have hit bottom with the jet lag! They hopefully will sleep well tonight as I kept them up later tonight!
Overall we are ALL wonderful and doing well!!!!!
I will post picture tomorrow of our lil' Magnus and the 1st Gotcha' Day celebration!!!!!!!!!!! We will be at the orphanage tomorrow on Monday at 9:30 a.m. -8:30 p.m. Sunday night your time! Wish me luck!! I hope he likes me!
