I am anxious to hear how the train goes. I have never heard of anyoen doing the train from Guangzhou to Nanning or vice versa because it is so long. The flight is only an hour.
wow! dates and itinerary! so incredible - and SO FAST from referral to travel -- amazing and wonderful!!! can't wait to see photos of you with her!!
I loved being able to see your itinerary. We will be on our way to Guangxi, Nanning, and Liuzhou sometime this fall to bring home Ru. Since we are research "nuts" I appreciate being able to see what your plans are so that we have an idea of what ours might look like. Would love to know how your trip to Liuzhou goes. We would like to take Ru there, visit a particular park, and have pictures taken there. We are just not sure about traveling that far on the train with a three year old who doesn't know us. We are looking forward to following your journey! Congratulations!
I will say the train is a leap of faith for us. We so enjoyed traveling by train when we adopted Oliver from Russia 4 years ago and wanted to do it again. I pray that Molly does well on the train with us. Our guide will be in the sleeper compartment with us both ways. I feel comforted she will be able to communicate with her during that time.
