Day Three: Guangzhou

We got into Guangzhou and headed for the White Swan. We only had a few hours here on Shamian as we were to go to Zhanjiang the following afternoon. The following morning, families whose children were registered at the Civil Affairs office in Guangzhou were allowed in to view those files.

After lunch, we were taken to the GZ airport where we caught a late afternoon flight to Zhanjiang. We'd been told the SWI staff likely wouldn't be there, but as soon as we stepped into the small airport (one conveyer belt), there they were: Dir. Su, Ms. Yi, Elsa. I continue to be amazed and grateful for their kindness and uncommon courtesy. Our group overwhelmed that small airport, and there weren't enough carts for all the luggage. :o) Although there are four flights in and out of this airport daily, most of their customers aren't loaded for bear like we were. We were then taken to the Crown Plaza hotel, where we'll be for the remainder of our stay.
