I have a Gong girl from Pingnan, also! She is now 4 1/2 and was adopted at 18 months. There is a yahoo group for Pingnan, just do a search for Gong girls to find it. Congrats on a beautiful girl!!!

Popped over from RQ. Your daughter (doesn't that sound so awesome?!) is completely adorable! Oh my, what a little sweetie - I am so in love!

Congrats! We have been home with our little Gong Princess for almost a year! You will love Nanning - very pretty at night. VERY hot during the day - prepare for Texas heat w/no air conditioning! The hotels and stores have it though... There is a Super Wal-Mart, so don't worry about taking diapers or formula - your guide will take you to get all that! Have a great trip!

Dianne, congrats! Love the topside ponytail your daughter has in the photo!
we used LaVida also. When I saw that your post said Mary from your agency called, I thought, our agency contact was also named Mary.
Safe, happy travels to you!
