Saying goodbye to Dave at the airport

 

Jean came to the airport to say goodbye

Great post Wendy!!! Thanks! 

I didn't even know Brennan had packed a tackle box- so happy he knew not to bring fishing hooks!  He was sad we couldn't find any water to fish in because he has started a journal of "Places He's Fished" and was really hoping to add a new place.  He handled it well though! 

We're finally back at our hotel and it is almost 11:00 PM.  Since we couldn't fish, we rode the shuttle back to the airport to grab a bus to New York City.  We were hoping to take a Night Lights Bus Tour, but the theme of the day seemed to be "late"... this time it was rush hour traffic.  We missed the tour by about thirty minutes, so we decided to check out Times Square and of course had to go into the huge Toys R Us store!  Since I saved money by not going on the Night Light's Tour, I let Brennan pick out a Lego Set (which made him very happy, especially when he found one that had a fish in it).  Brennan is very happy that he has finally been to New York- even if it was only for a few hours. 

We'll head back to the airport tomorrow in order to board our flight at 2:30 PM.  I talked to my contacts in China and found out that the person picking us up is named Peter.  I even have his cell phone number, which makes me feel much happier in case I don't see him at the Guangzhou Airport as planned.

We had to have a picture drawn of
Brennan on the streets of NYC!

 I am so thankful to the lady that gave us food vouchers AND a hotel!  Good things keep happening!  Instead of spending my alone time with Brennan in China we got to spend it in NYC!
