we have arrived

We arrived at the hotel just after midnight last night. The flights
were delayed, but Miss Angel Face did fantastic. She is such a good
girl. She has a liking for older Chinese gentlemen so it didn't hurt
that the man beside us in the plane let her play with his ipod for much
of the flight LOL. She did not get air sick but I will still get more
patches or the sea band for the flight back just in case.

The hotel lobby is gorgeous. We are at the Garden Hotel. The
room....well, it is okay. Not like the Lakeview by a long shot. Tiny
bathroom, no soaker tub, etc. But, it meets our needs fine.

Today is the medical exam and pre-visa paperwork. That should all go
smoothly. I forgot my adapter in the last hotel (I am not having much
luck with computers this trip, am I?), but that will likely get resolved
once I go down to the main desk and ask for one here in the hotel. The
floor attendant did not know what I wanted.

Off to breakfast, going to the clinic and dropping off laundry. Just
like a typical day in America!!

Happy Christmas Eve, everyone. Santa is getting ready to make all of
his special deliveries. I already got my present, this year....and she
is perfect in every way!!!!!

Love, Michele and Madi
