(Thursday Dec.3rd) & (Friday Dec.4th)

I am actually writing this post from the airport in Vancouver waiting for our flight home! We now arrive on flight AC112 arriving at 10:23pm.

As I type, Kev has gone to look for a flight update, I am surrounded by the most beautiful scenery of our beloved Rockies. Hannah is sleeping soundly in her stroller.

Thursday in Beijing was spent shopping at Yashow! Thursday night we packed to head home. I so love shopping at Yashow. It is one of a kind! The deals were fantastic and we had so much fun.

We woke up on Friday and Kevin called Air Canada and was told something else regarding whether or not we would be getting off our flight in Vancouver. He had previously been told that no, we would be waiting on the aircraft, then no, we need to do our immigration in 1 hour in Vancouver. Then we would change planes in Toronto and head home from there. Kevin told others in the group how important it would be to be incredibly fast if you want to make the connection. We looked into whether or not there would be another flight. Turns out that yes, there was another flight with a direct from Vancouver home and allowing us an extra hour in Vancouver to clear customs and immigration. And the most tremendous part was that they wouldn't charge us for any changes. Another bonus is that we arrive almost home almost 1.5 hours earlier than previously thought! Wonderful! Trying to reach Air Canada from China was horrendous. Kev kept waiting on hold and the call kept dropping. Then when we had our tickets secured and emailed they neglected to include Hannah's. OMG We were literally leaving for our flight home in 30 minutes. LONG story short (the battery is almost dead here!) we were able to verify that she did have a ticket. Thank God.

We bid farewell to China with mixed feelings. Happy to be heading home to our waiting family and yet also sad to leave this beautiful country that gave us 2 very precious girls. We will always hold it dearly in our hearts.
