The Train to Hong Kong

We left the hotel around 2:30

and went by the consulate so our guide

could pick up SJ's visa.

Mission accomplished and we were off to the train station.

Really only 5 minutes away.

I shot this pic of SJ before we left.

It struck me of what an overwhelming

miracle that this little one is to have been

without a family in an orphanage such a short time ago

and now stood overlooking the city ready to leave

with her NEW family forever!!!!!

Here we are with our sweet guide Aron

(Chinese Women of China) ~

which we can't say enough GREAT things about!!!

And our sweet traveling friends~

Mark, Rebecca, & Claire.

Waiting in the train station~

SJ was NOT happy.

She was actually scared we were at another

medical exam building.

SJ loved pulling the little suitcase

all around the train station.

All Aboard!!!

This is the funny part of the trip...

when we walked out of the train station,

we were approached by 'Billy" for a cab ride.

This happened to us back when we got to HK with EK~

this random guy came up to us

and wanted to drive us to the hotel.

We asked him if he was sure we could all fit~

he said YES! and led us to a small van.

Sure enough, he got all our luggage in and

me holding EK&SJ, Rebecca holding Claire,

and Mark all piled in the back seat and Scott in the front.

'Billy' sent his wife home on the bus. :)

He pointed to a VERY long line of people waiting on a cab

and said we would have waited about 2 hours...

and said, "I'm not sh****** you."

All we could do is laugh out loud!!! :)

We made it to our destination near the airport

and are headed to bed so we will be ready for

our 5:30 wake up call.

Flying out @ 9:15 am headed to Detroit

where SJ will be an American when her feet hit the ground!

Thank you Jesus!!!
