Touring Advice

Advice for anyone adopting a baby from China. If they offer a River Cruise on the Li River, think carefully before you say yes. Here we are, 9 families with new babies, after a 6 or so hour bus ride on Friday, hopping back in a bus on Sunday (today). The bus ride was 1 and 1/2 hours each way and the boat ride was 4 and 1/2 hours. Okay, Guilin and the Li River are beautiful.
But my advice? Say "NO".

Today was an excellent day for Mom and Amy. No crying until after the exhausting outing. Amy actually gave me affectionate eyes today, smiles at my goofy play gestures, and she let me kiss her a thousand times without crying.

Unfortunately I am going to miss the chance to go to the zoo and sit on a tiger. The zoo also has a/some panda(s). I never miss a shopping opportunity, but I'm opting out of tomorrow's planned zoo/park/shopping outing. Enough is enough. Amy and I are going ot hang out at the 5 star Waterfall Hotel in Guilin. Don plans to get on the bus again, but I choose to suffer with my princess in the comfort of this beautiful hotel.
