Goodbye, For Now, Changsha

We are packed and outta here for Guangzhou! Passports are ready and we'll make the 2:30 pm flight. When you wake up in the morning, we'll be there.

So happy to be moving on, but we have grown to love the people of Changsha, Hunan. The restaurant waitresses were sad to see us go. Our floor attendant, who has fussed over Abby all week and even got caught by her boss sitting on the floor playing with Abby (you should have seen the look!) knocked softly on the door as we were packing up ... and she gave us a beautiful hair clip for Abby as a gift. We were so touched. People in Hunan are wonderful, loving and warm.

Goodbye from Changsha.
