Journey to Claire

Today was our last day in Guangzhou.  We took the famous red couch photos this afternoon before heading to the US Consulate for the oath.  Claire is now officially a part of the family!  And this is when I cried - a lot.  All I kept thinking was that Gerald should be standing next to me saying this with me.  I know he was there is spirit - I could feel him standing right there with me, holding my hand.

After the oath, we took a train from Guangzhou to Hong Kong.  The train ride was great.  The "health police" took Carmen & Claire's temperatures when we got off the train; I think if they would have taken mine I may have lost it!  We then had to figure out where the hotel was.  Come to find out, it was on the other side of Hong Kong!  We had to take a 30 minute cab ride to the hotel!  But I think the Novotel City Gate was the nicest hotel we stayed in during the entire trip.
