We're here

We just got to our hotel. Dallas and Jolean's luggage did not make it all the way to Nanjing. Somehow Aslen and Brennan's luggage did. As luck would have it we're across the street from a mall, where I was worshiped as a goddess. We're definately a minority here. Everyone stares at us and if Aslen's head is within arms reach the older people will compulsively touch her hair. We're waiting to hear from our coordinators and find out how the week will go. Hopefully our luggage will show up soon. We'll write more later.

We are thinking of you. I'm glad you did already do some shopping. I guess in China they recognize the true princess that Aslen is!! Love you Sabra Chuck and Ella

I was relieved and thrilled that you got there ok. What a great adventure and a wonderful birthday present! You can always tell Brennan that she's your best birthday present of all. My good friend Mrs. Wright and her daughter, Sherry are also following your journey. Be safe and remember I love all of you so much. God Bless, Mother(Grandmother)

Wonderful news, you are there safe and sound. Jolean now that is my kind of trip lost luggage and you are across from a mall.
What an experience you all will have to remember forever.
And of course Aslen attracts attention where ever she goes. She is the Daughter of a Goddress.
Dallas you must be a very proud you are surrouned by beautiful women.
Aslen hurry home with your sister.We have tents to build.
Be safe and enjoy your trip.
Love to All, Grandma Shirley
