We didn't go to Beijing so I don't know what you will find there. Guangzhou wasn't a problem for us either.SARAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597072135699693024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14848310.post-13150842906791899782009-10-09T03:21:53.397-04:002009-10-09T03:21:53.397-04:00I was able to blog in China - although a couple of...I was able to blog in China - although a couple of times it was in Chinese!!! I asked the lovely helpful ladies in the hotel business centre - who changed it so it was in english!! <br /><br />BUT - is def. a good idea to have your backup plan and email pics & posts. I actually used a seperate adoption journey site, for our in China trip which was wonderful - coz all I had to do was email.OziMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813480734366566560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14848310.post-40120274991145008142009-10-07T10:24:00.176-04:002009-10-07T10:24:00.176-04:00My worst trouble was with pics. They were large (...My worst trouble was with pics. They were large (about 2 MB each) and the Internet was timing out before I could attach them to the blog or to email to send to my inlaws (that was my backup plan). Also, the blogger interface was in Chinese, but like another commenter, I knew where to click! About the pics...all the PCs in the hotel business centers had Windows, so I would put the pics into Paint and then do a Save As as jpg, which puts them in a smaller jpeg size. Then I could attach them. Of course didn't think to rotate them - you can see from my blog (link to trip in left column) that I had trouble!!!!Two Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287174746506005845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14848310.post-69067041797202951942009-10-05T09:36:10.861-04:002009-10-05T09:36:10.861-04:00i posted from China! in your "blogger" m...i posted from China! in your "blogger" menu you can set up "email to blogger"- it's SO easy!! you just email to your blog, attach photos, and waala. the advantage to having M3 do it is that she can size the pics for you! email to blogger they will always post "small" (like mine did).<br /><br />either way, good to know you are set. i will say that email from china was SLOW (at least from gmail)! and you don't need any adapters, each hotel had them- some were built in (plugs)!kitchuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03907460384010952009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14848310.post-75859510201317642402009-10-04T21:20:47.958-04:002009-10-04T21:20:47.958-04:00Hope you had a great day!!!

If we have to read about after the fact, so be it. I'm glad you have a back-up plan, though!<br /><br />How is the painting and decorating of the nursery coming along?<br /><br />Have you had any daydreams about hanything in particular that's important to you that you want to share with Hannah? I imagine that my time to play the piano will be after I tuck my daughter into bed and I imagine her listening to the music as she falls asleep. I also imagine taking my daughter to the beach for the first time during the day and her first time at night, too.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033823622722768455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14848310.post-64598919380799706972009-10-03T20:55:38.616-04:002009-10-03T20:55:38.616-04:00the only problem I had with blogger was that it wa...the only problem I had with blogger was that it wasn't always in english but I'd been using it long enough to know where I needed to click... then I realized there was a button I could click to convert it. Once I did that, I didn't have a bit of trouble. I like your back up plan though.. it's always good to have a back up plan!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980445248386713210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14848310.post-31226682137410365772009-10-03T17:48:27.524-04:002009-10-03T17:48:27.524-04:00That is so weird.

All of it kind of makes me nervous, because I want to share with everyone while we are over there.<br /><br />Catherine you are entering your last 30 days of life as you know it. Your life is getting ready to change in ways that you cannot even imagine. And it is going to be an 18 or 19 year roller coaster of love like never before.
