Last post from China

We are in the Ramada Inn Hotel at the Shanghai Pudong Airport. I was able to up load the photos for the last couple of days. Yesterday morning we past on doing the Reed Flute Cave tour. We have just done so much on this trip we were ready for a break. Plus we had to travel from Guilin to Shanghai yesterday. It's nice to know we are on our last leg of our journey home. By time we are home we'll have been in the airports 14 times and traveled over 16,000 plus miles and half of that with a one year old! Lets give credit, where credit is due! China has been an awesome experince. We have seen so much and were able to experince real life China. We would walk the streets at night and mingle with the locals..our favorite thing was to just sit at the local outside resturants and order the local noodle dishes and just sit and watch the people. The night life in China is busy! But with the population in the big cities, and the highrise apartments by the thousands, the locals are all out and about. We will have lots to share with Jade as she grows. We will miss the friendly people of China. But fare warning, dont try to do China without a guide and driver for getting around. Not many Chinese speak English. Even in our 5 star hotels we've been staying in. You ask for a towel and receive a pillow. You ask for a highchair, and watch the waiter go stow it away! 16 hours and Jade will become a U.S. Citizen! Signing off from China! WOW, it has been amazing!
