2 postings in one day - I'm an addicted blogger
Yeah, Tracy and Will thought they could master jet lag in one evening. WRONG! We did a quick walk around the block and it was already in the upper 80s and HUMID! Will and I got tired, but I successfully navigated (without a map and knowing Chinese symbols) us back to the hotel....by what you might add? "well I think we made a left back there, so now we make a right - and wait there is the Starbucks and KFC that are around the corner from Dell!" Will was impressed. So much so we came back to the hotel room and are finishing a 3 1/2 hour nap. Will said "just a little longer" - he wanted to make it an even 4...so now I'm writing my blog while all of you are getting your beauty rest.
Our hotel room is nice, but nothing overly fancy. I told Will I thought our rate was a little high for what we are getting (nice room, king size bed $90) - it is nicer by American standards. HOWEVER, on their website, we can get a standard suite for about the same price (a little less). It would have a kitchenette which would be nice since we will be here for 26 days. We spoke to the front desk, but nothing has happened yet, so we probably need to "ask again" - we'll see. I'm such a cheap skate....where's my coupon, right? :)
We made our first purchase today in a all chinese supermarket of sorts. We bought a bottle of water and a bag of salt (to use with our netti pot - for Will's sinuses). Grand total: $0.40. It is not a lot, but a start. I think we will venture out this afternoon, but using a taxi this time.

well, you may be an addicted blogger, but I'm now (if you hadn't noticed) an addicted blog-reader! :)
You crazy woman, slow down, everyone knows you shouldn't by salt AND water in your first day!
In other news, Jcaho is supposedly visiting our unit today. Kinda hoping they are done before I get there at 11. :)

I forgot I can communicate to you
thru your blog...duh! Sounds like you are doing well so far. I am taking the girls home on friday not sure how the dogs will like me being gone..they seem to have adopted me as their new sitting post they follow me everywhere and wait to jump on my lap as soon as I sit down. They love the porch and the warm sunshine but don't like the long grass I guess we will have to put a patch of texas weed grass in for them! Have fun send pic's soon. love you
Hi Tracy and Will...cousin Carie here. So glad you made it to your new home. We are enjoying the blogs you've been writing. Have you always been this funny? Love you guys.
