Arrival in Zhengzhou

Short flight, about an hour... Interesting in-flight meal, two slices of bread and mystery meat - nothing else, no mayo/mustard... Nothing

About 50 minute drive to hotel, this is not Beijing.  Extremely industrial, huge factories - huge.  It is raining, we checked into 5 star hotel, crown plaza.  Very nice, they have cuban cigar room and tonight is oktoberfest.  Very funny to see the Chinese locals in german beer maid outfits. 

This is last night without Emma, Melissa is nesting and getting everything ready.  Lily is "nesting" in the crib. Little concerned about her courage remaining in Beijing but we are letting her just do what she needs to do.  She is laying in the crib and I think will probably fall asleep shortly and we have not had dinner yet.

Went to the bank to change the fees from us into Chinese rmb.... Exchange rate is 6.7 and largest Yuan bill is 100 so quite a wad of cash to walk out of there with.

Everyone is very polite but americans are not as common here, especially with little english speaking chinese girls so we are getting lots of stares.
I will try to get some pics up tonight.
