Last day in Guangzhou

Two more days until Pam, Camryn and I return home.

GUANGZHOU, China - Packing.
It’s such a joy, especially after more than two weeks on the road in a country on the other side of the world.
But that’s what we are doing this morning as we prepare to leave Guangzhou this afternoon and head for our last stop on the Cassreino Tour of China: Hong Kong.
Camryn, our daughter, will receive her U.S. visa this afternoon at the U.S. Consulate here in town. After that, our Lotus Travel escort will whisk us to the train station.
We are taking a train to Hong Kong and our hotel across from the station. We plan to send Thursday touring the city and shopping for last-minute gifts.
And then it’s off to the airport on Friday for our return trip home.
Because this is a travel day, I likely won’t post another entry until we reach our Hong Kong hotel at about 9 p.m. tonight (or about 8 a.m. Wednesday morning in Hattiesburg).
Just in case something happens and I’m unable to post until later, I thought I’d share our travel information for Friday.
We are scheduled to arrive at the Jackson-Evers International Airport on Friday, April 14, at 4:37 p.m. on Northwest Airlink/Pinnacle Airlines Flight NW2878L.
You can check with Northwest to make sure our flight is on time.
So, until later today or, at the latest, early Wednesday, I’ll leave you with this photo we took on Tuesday night at a shop near the White Swan Hotel.
