Day 9

Day 9:   Today was a travel day.  Our guide delivered us to the Luoyang  Airport, which turned out to be very small (we were five of maybe two dozen passengers waiting for a flight).   We took a 2-hour flight on a small commuter jet to Guangzhou, which is quite far in the south.  We traveled here because adoptions must exit to the U.S. through Guangzhou.  Z was so excited to go on his first flight.  Afterwards, on the way to our new hotel, Z was animatedly telling about how much he liked the plane ride.   We checked into the Victory Hotel on Shamian Island. Very nice.  Dinner, a walk, and a swim in the roof top pool finished the day.   Z seems to love swimming as much as M, and that's saying a lot.  He is so enthusiastic about everything.  Tomorrow is Z's medical appointment and passport photo.
