Good Bye, Guangzhou






I can't believe we have been here for 8 days and it's time to go home tomorrow morning. It has been such fun and we've made some really good friends. Today we spent the morning at the hub--John and Steve finished up everything they could. The van from the White Swan picked us up, along with 2 Memphis FedEx guys and we got back to the hotel around 2. We finished up some shopping and then headed upstairs to get a jump on packing. We went to our favorite BBQ place for dinner and were serenaded by 3 Chinese musicians singing Spanish songs--they were very good and were having a lot of fun. One song they did was by Nilsson, "I can't live, if living is without you." Their rendition was "I can't leave, if leaving is without you!" Then we went back to the shop where we have gotten to know the workers and took their picture--everyone loves to have their picture taken--even the Chinese FedEx guys! Well, we have a 4:15 a.m. wake up call, so I think I'll close here. Phil--I hope you are having a great birthday--we got something here for you, so it will be a little late!

It's 4:20 PM on Tuesday here in Palm Beach, so it's 4:20 AM for you and hopefully you're awake by now so you do not miss your flight! I have enjoyed reading your blog every day and I see the "Legacy Cougars" have, too. I'm sorry I missed you in Memphis last week but it has been fun living vicariously through your adventures online. Have a safe trip home! Can't wait to talk to you!

Love,
Courtney
