Lovin' The Plan

We are now in Zhengzhou and settled somewhat into the Holiday Inn here.  We are utterly exhausted.  Jet lag hit us all abour 3:30.  Ashlyn and Sarah are sound asleep.  Wayne is drifting in and out.  I just woke up from an hour nap.  Sydney fell asleep right before take off at 1:00 and slept through the entire flight and the ride to the hotel.  We have tried everything to get her up to no avail.  She is sound asleep!  And she has been for 4 hours!  We really need sleep tonight and not another 3:00am wake up, but it's not looking so good. 

 

We were met be our guide Sarah at the airport and she is a really nice girl!  Very helpful and can speak English very clearlly.  She brought us to the hotel and they had our two rooms on two separate floors!  They said if we wanted that we could have two rooms close together but they would be smoking rooms.  Our Sarah has asthma and so that was unacceptable.  Our guide handled it well and got us two rooms side by side that are non-smoking, well at least as non-smoking as there is in China.  It seems as if the scent of cigaretttes is everywhere, although I'm sure that's just us because we are never around it.  We are supposed to meet our guide in the lobby in 25 minutes to go eat dinner.  She is taking us to a noodle place.  Hmmmmm.  That is if I can wake anyone up.

 

We are to meet Abbey at 10:30 in the morning.  That will be 9:30pm Tuesday night at home.  I have so much to gather and do before morning but my mind is just so stinkin' fuzzy!   Wayne is supposed to be trying to wake up the girls and I see he is back asleep, so I had better go see what I can rouse...........
