Stuck in the airport because of weather for 7 hours, out into the packed buses with a non-walking kid and one that couldn't climb into the bus, with all our carry ons and they wouldn't let us gate-check the stroller. When we got off the bus at the plane, they indicated that I should take the double stroller on the plane with us. I about sat down and just cried. John balked when he was confronted with those tall, slippery stairs to the plane. It was awful trying to lug both kids, our carryons, and the stroller. A flight attendant stuffed the stroller behind a seat in first class. When we got to the back of the plane and our seats, Therese started licking the arm of the man on the other side of her. I seriously considered pretending I didn't know her. We got to GZ at about 1 AM, then had the medical first thing in the morning. Ugh!

We had a stop over on the way to & from GZ in Xi'an. We had to deplane & then reboard the very same plane about 10min later. :) It wasn't fun. <br /><br />Sound like you are staying at the Garden. We stayed there but since we were there during Fair trade we didn't get the bigger room. We got stuck in a small room, I was super bummed because I saw people from our agency(BAAS) that had the bathroom like you described. Lets just say I envy your digs. :) <br /><br />If Reese struggles with pooping again & is trying to go, one thing that works with our daughter is having her sit in a warm bath. She is able to go every time I do that. It's gross but way better than having her in misery. :) I hope the rest of your trip goes well!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11700509513472628973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403450863616971638.post-9790366432157382332013-01-11T17:58:25.494-08:002013-01-11T17:58:25.494-08:00Hang in there! Our plane ride from province to GZ ...Hang in there! Our plane ride from province to GZ was seriously the hottest thing I have EVER experienced. Our lil miss was completely freaked out by the seat belt, so being the "good" mother that I am, I pulled out the dum-dum suckers. More than once. And I'm not sorry. ;) Hope you find some things to enjoy around your new digs...I believe we stayed in the same place by your description. There is a Starbucks around the corner as well as a McD's & Burger King within walking distance. I don't like fast food, especially BK, but their waffle fries became my son's fav, & Mama was happy to have a daily dose of Starbucks. There is a beautiful garden to walk around...quiet & pretty for pictures. We enjoyed breakfast, too. Hope your coming days go smoothly! :)Dardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11506811940537594798noreply@blogger.com
