The beginning of the end of the trip!

Checkout day! We will be checking out at 2pm, swinging by the Consulate to pick up Visa, and then off to the GZ train station. We've been warned that the train station is not so nice but the train was really nice...we'll see;) The train leaves around 4pm...I think and we should arrive in Hong Kong around 6pm. We will be traveling with our whole group so that makes things a lot easier for me. They have all been so much help!

We will be staying at the Summit Hotels...Regal Airport Hotel for the night. Nate and I will board United Flight 896 Thursday and take off at 11:10am China time (will actually be Wednesday 10:10pm Alabama time...I think!)  We will arrive in Chicago at 12:35pm Thursday. I am sure it will be a long, long flight for us all. You may want to start praying in advance for the poor passengers on that plane:) I believe there will be 3 of us from the group on this flight! 

We have a little over a 2 hour layover before we board United 5817 to head home!! Our flight will take off at 3:05pm and arrive in Birmingham at 4:47! I can not wait to be home. My sweet little Colin has had such a hard time being away from his mom and I have promised him the first hug... I am going to be such a sobbing mess! 

Please keep us in your prayers over the next 2 days! Train ride, plane rides, new places, and traveling with a very active two year old is going to be very trying and exhausting!

Love you all and can't wait to be HOME!!
