We're in China!!!

Well, we made it!  I don't have much to post, but wanted you all to know that we are safe and sound in our hotel in Guangzhou.  The Victory is beautiful.  We have a business suite, which has a sitting room and a bed room.  We got a rollaway for Jan in the sitting room area, so it's almost like we each have our own room.  This computer is in room, so that's nice and convenient, and we have 1 1/2 bathrooms.  That's 1/2 bath more than we have at home, so we're really living in luxury!
 
The flights were pretty uneventful.  Just very long.  But customs was a breeze, and there wasn't any traffic to speak of, so we were in our beds at the hotel by midnight.
 
We are meeting a guide at noon to go to the "toy street" where Jason can gaze at action figures to his heart's content...  I don't think he'll buy any today, since we'll be back in Guangzhou at the end of our trip and he can buy them at that time.  No sense in lugging all that stuff all over China, right?
 
Anyway, I'll post more when we have seen/done more.  Hopefully I won't melt in the heat.  (It was 90 degrees and HUMID when we arrived at 10PM last night, so I can't wait to see what the weather is like today.)

Hi Bridget,
We are with GW and June06 groups. We were wondering what the restaurant looks like at the Victory? How far away is it from the White Swan?
Curious, since we may be staying there when we get to travel. I'm sure the White Swan will be under renovation at that time we get to travel.
I'm loving the pictures. Can't wait until your gotcha day.
