Official Travel Itinerary

We got our official Travel Itinerary yesterday via e-mail. The dates are the same as I listed in an earlier post. And pretty much the events as well. What's new is that we knowthe exact hotels that we will stay in in each city!!

First, in Beijing we will stay in the Renaissance Beijing Hotel. In Beijing we will visit Tian An Men Square, the Forbidden City, the Olympic Park. We will also climb the Juyongguan section of the Great Wall! We will be in Beijing from July 30-Aug.1

When we travel to Wuhan, let's face it, we will not be as interested in the sightseeing as we will be with getting to know our little Lillie! While in Wuhan City, we will stay at the Best Western Mayflowers Hotel. We will be in Wuhan City, Hubei from Aug. 1- Aug.6

Then we will travel to Guangzhou. While in Guangzhou we will stay at the Marriott China Hotel. Many people that travel to China to adopt stay at the White Swan during their time in Guangzhou. Our agency just told us (because I asked) thatthey have been getting a lot of complaints about the White Swan because large amount of construction and for other various reasons. Well, I have trusted my agency so far (and it;s been a LONG far), that I guess I will have to trust them in this! We will possibly miss the chance to have Lillie's picture taken on the famous "Red Couch" that so many others who have been adopted from China have had their pictures take on...so maybe we will take a taxi over there one afternoon for pictures or maybe we will be the beginning of a new "tradition" and get pictures of her somewhere else. At some point there will be 3 other families with us from our agency at the same hotel, so who knows what will happen....Leave it to an Anderson to start a new tradition! :)
