August 17--Arrive in Hubei Province

Well, after all the drama of the day before, we arrived in Wuhan without incident. We have begun to meet the other families in our group (there are 12, which is a very large group), and there are two others from Tennessee--one from near Nashville and the other from Cookeville. How neat! Joanna, our CCAI rep. met us all at the airport and transported us to the Jin Jiang Hotel, which is a lovely highrise on a lake. Unfortunately, no group dinner was prepared, leaving us to fend for ourselves not knowing where anything was and with a very limited timeframe for eating as our group meeting was at 6:30. Michael and I wandered across the street to McDonalds, where most other families ended up. Unfortunately, although the signs look like the same food as at home, in reality it is very different. Hopefully we won't have to eat many meals here! Our group meeting went well. We filled out our adoption papers, and found out what would happen the rest of the week. We both took an Ambien last night to hopefully be well-rested for Gotcha day tomorrow!
