It's noon on Friday and we're really, really hoping it's our last day here. We're still not sure about Julianna's visa, but we are going to check out of the hotel and go the Consolate at 3:oo anyway. Our guide said not to buy more plane tickets, so we are going to the airport directly from the consolate.

We're already packed and just waiting. Walking around Shamian Island has gotten old, and there are less and less families here and more and more business types. It's lost it's lovely feel. The lack of families on the island may mean that folks are already getting visas and going home. I guess we'll find out.

Hopefully by the time you read this we'll be somewhere in the U.S. Hopefully.

Has anyone in the family heard an update....Where they are?....what's going on? Are they still on schedule to arrive home on time?

The last information we had was this posting. They had to turn their Panda phone and can not call us until they arrive in LA. We assume that they are on their way but will not know for sure until they can call from LAX. As soon as I hear, I will post it as a comment on the blog and they will probably post also. Please pray for them (and the grandparents) as they wing their way home. Richard Meadows

Its like waiting to hear from a lunar capsule circling back from the other side of the moon. . . "Houston, do you copy?"

There will certainly be relief when they are on USA soil at LAX.
