Last Post from China

It is Thursday night and we are packed and ready to leave in the morning. Our bags are being picked up at 5:40am and we are leaving the hotel at 6:40am for a 9am flight to Beijing. We have a 4:30am wake-up call.

We took the oath this afternoon at the US Consulate and picked up Jake's visa and immigration documents. He will become a US citizen as soon as we land in Newark.

We are all ready to return to the USA and to our home, family and friends. Both Ryan and Jake are asleep and I am going down stairs to check us out. We had a final and wonderful dinner with our travel group at the best restaurant on the island - an Italian restaurant.

I am attaching a couple pictures from the past couple of days. Enjoy!
