Love Crosses Oceans-A Journey to Family: We are here!!!

So let me just start by saying Konnor is a freaking rockstar! I mean we couldn't have asked for him to do any better with all this travel. Wednesday we stayed the night in San Fransisco. Our second flight was delayed, then we got stuck on their version of the Metro for about 1 1/2 hr. By the time we got to the hotel we were done. We grabbed a cab to the wharf, got some seafood, konnor got a much deserved ice cream and we headed back to the hotel. The next morning Konnor and I grabbed some food and swam while Mark finished up some school work. Next stop was the airport!

This is where it gets kind of hairy. Our initial flight was 1 1/2 hr delayed due to weather issues in China (lots of rain here the last few days). That got us to Wuhan late (thankfully it was the same plane we were taking to Guangzhou so no worries about a missed flight). Then once we cleared customs, checked back in for our connection and then they boarded us only for us to sit on the plane for 2 hrs before takeoff : (. It was 86 degrees when we got here at 2am. Yuck! Needless to say it was almost 4 am before we got to the hotel. Konnor was awesome the whole trip with only one meltdown while waiting to clear customs in Wuhan. Pretty sure they all wanted to know what kind of torture I was inflicting on the poor child because he was soooo over it. He only slept on and off for a few hrs here and there on the plane. He was also less than impressed with plane food and survived on my massive snack stash (we already had to go snack shopping today). After about 26 hrs of nonstop travel we were all cranky so I don't blame him at all. He only slept about 2 1/2 hrs before getting up for breakfast. We walked to 7-11 to get snacks and then the last two days really caught up to Konnor. I finally got him to sleep and we all took a much needed 4hr nap. The rest of the day was just chill day. Everyone felt better after nap. Konnor and I swam for about an hour while Mark took a final and then we explored the hotel. All my sensory parents will understand why we walked the stairs and escalators about a hundred times. Matching games, coloring and books before our little guy passed out cold. I am still in awe of how well he travelled the last few days.

We are getting the room arranged, and then tomorrow we are going to a local park. I feel surprising good despite the jet lag. Hoping we all sleep good tonight. Only 2 more sleeps until we meet Owen!
