Check in at the china hotel seemed to take forever and Q was so done! We immediately ordered room service and I ran to seven eleven. Passed Starbucks on the way and awww, it was heaven to smell! Q didn't like his pizza, so I gave him a bath and got him ready for bed, then he spotted the noodles from 7-11 and wanted them, so there he was at 11pm slurping noodles and watching Wallace and Grommit. It was after 12 when we all finally got into bed.
This morning we had to meet in the lobby at 9am. So we went down to breakfast and saw a bunch of Holt families and children that we had not seen since Beijing. We got to the lobby 10 minutes early, which is never good with Q, he is just too restless, and likely to run off laughing if we aren't holding him. We have quite a large group, so we took a bus to the island for visa photos and medical exam.
The visa photo was no problem. He was clearly nervous around the men and women wearing white though, poor guy. He soon learned it was pretty innocuous, that is until the TB stick. It took three of us to hold him down and there was a ton of screaming.
After, we had time to walk around, so where did we walk to? Starbucks of course! We also bought a stroller and that has been working out well. The island is really beautiful and I look forward to going back.
I picked up McD's when we got back to the hotel. Q only drank his milk. No French fry love for him today. Rhett scarfed down a big Mac. There goes the clean diet! Not to mention the Marriott burger he was so happy to have last night.
One of us has to attend a paperwork meeting at 3, then there is an optional group dinner that I think we will attend.
Finally got Q to sleep, he is holding my arm, so I am typing with 1 hand. Rhett can post some pictures later.

There's an optional group dinner tonight? That would be nice to know! No one told me. Good thing we're following your blog. :) Check-in was HORRIBLE! We complained to Holt already, and they know it's a problem. So glad you're safely here. Look forward to meeting you soon!
