Travel continued, almost time to go meet Holly

i was so tired last night, that I just couldnt keep typing.  I'll add more now, and then again later after we meet Holly. 
Still a little jet laggy, but, we all took some sleep meds last night, and pretty much slept like a rock, which is a good thing, because that's the closest description to the beds here in China.  It's better than Changsha was back  in 2003 when I went there to bring Myleigh home, because the White Rose puts down mattress pads on the beds.  They aren't terribly thick, but, it's better than without them.
The weather isn't as rainy today, mostly just a lot of fog, and I mean, can't see much of the city and the sun just barely able to glint through kind of fog.  There's a breeze, so, maybe it will clean some of it out.  It's not a nice clean fog either.  We met another couple at breakfast this morning who are here adopting a little one.  They're from Arizona.  Tim was talking with the dad at the buffet, and he said they had gone for a walk yesterday, and were only out a couple of hours, and had to wash their clothes when they got back from the dirty air.  yuck.  Don't think we'll be doing much wandering around. 
The food is good.  Tim tried a fruit on the buffet called "poochee"  emphasis on the "chee'.  Im guessing on the spelling.  He really liked it.  Tasted like a cross between a soft apple and coconut. 
Yes girls, Dad is enjoyng the buffet experience just like he did in Cancun.  Only four trips this morning, but, he wasn't very hungry today.
We meet Eric in the lobby in an hour, and will also be meeting the other couple that are adopting today.  There are at least four adopting families in he hotel, possibly more.  The couple we met this morning from Arizona has a little boy looked about a year old.  There was also an older woman with her much older mom, with a little girl about Myleigh's age.  She didn't appear to be too keen on the much older woman who I am thinking is her new grandmother. 
Matthew is homesick, but, I think he'll have less time to think about that when he is busy playing with his new sister.  He just announced what time it was, so, I think he's anxious to get going.  I think we're as prepared as we can be.  I have a backpack all packed for Holly.  It's a toddler size disney princess backpack, and I put a box of raisins, some toddler treats, a water bottle with fresh drinking water, a coloring book and crayons, a necklace that lights up, some bubbles, and a new stuffed animal, patch from 101 dalmations. 
I just want to be prepared but, don't want to overwhelm her with a bunch of stuff right away. 
I can read posts that are sent through both my blog and directly to my yahoo address teresaa40@yahoo.com  but can only reply to the yahoo emails as blogger is blocked in China.  I will save all the posts for blogger til I get back, and then post them.  so, if you don't see your post on my blog, it's because of that.  I'll be putting some pictures on my blog later today.
