Day 9 - Day 10 Guangzhou and Doctor Visit - pics

This post is actually 2 days only because we kind of lost day 9 with traveling from Chongqing to Guangzhou. Day 9 we just relaxed and got packed up mostly. We got on the plane with luggage very smoothly as we had "A" and "J" seeing us off helping us check in and get our flights. We also arrived in Guangzhou actually 10 minutes early and believe it or not our luggage did follow us arriving 10 minutes early with us. Mikayla did fine with her very first plane ride. Every time my ears were popping I was guessing Mikayla's were too and all she did at those times were make faces and then pretend she was chewing so I guess she knew how to fix it. I know she laughed every time I yawned to fix mine. On the plane they were very nice as they gave me a row of three seat all to myself and Mikayla as the flight was not full. I think they did so for me and not others cause "G" and I did not have seats together and I think she thought I was traveling alone with the baby. No matter to me, I was definitely not complaining and "G" wound up sitting in the 3 empty seats on the other side of the plane right next to us. When we landed "S" was there to greet us. We arrived at the hotel so far Guangzhou's hotel and area seem much better than both Beijing and Chongqing. Day 10, today we went to the doctors to get her medical. That was fun for all. Since no shots were given to us only TB shots to 2 years and older Mikayla had no problem with any of the 3 doctors she had to see. I think the worst for her was when the doctor wanted to see in her mouth and put that stick in there she pulled away fast and gave the doc the evil eye but she did not shed a single tear. She came out of the doctors office with a clean bill of health...praise the lord. After the doctor we visited a few of the stores at ShaMian Island which is where the doctor was also. We shopped a little got one traditional dress for Mikayla and a pair of squeaky shoes to go with it. I figure the outfit will be one for special occasions. We later were offered to go grocery shopping or back to the hotel. I think most families split where child and one parent went to hotel while the other shopped. Of course, being here for the first full day my stomach told me to return to the room and Mikayla's diaper confirmed the trip. "G" went on to the store and was back shortly after Mikayla and I got back from the play room at the hotel meeting a chinese family with a little boy that Mikayla kept her eye on. The rest of the evening we plan to relax and acquaint ourselves with the hugh hotel with many restaurants and shops, pool and play area and much more. Well I will catch you tomorrow when we will be going to the park in the morning and filling out more paper work in the afternoon and whatever else we personally decide to venture in doing. Happy blogging!
