Leaving on a Jet Plane!

Leaving on a Jet Plane!
I can't believe that after 3 years we are leaving on July 1st to travel to China for Kendall. Right now I have so many emotions going through my head...I'm excited, scared, nervous, anxious, but happy and optimistic too. 17 days is a long time to be away from Evan...he's going to miss us and we are going to miss him so much! We are going to try to rent a cell phone in China and call him hopefully every day. Our flight leaves Newark at 12:10 pm on Wednesday and gets to Beijing at 1:50 pm on Thursday. 13 hours and 40 minutes...wow is all I can say. I think the plane is full or nearly full, at least going to Beijing. We will be staying at the Holiday Inn Downtown in Beijing. We will tour the city on the 3rd and 4th, and fly to Zhengzhou, Henan Province on Sunday the 5th. We get Kendall in the morning on the 6th. We fly to Guangzhou on the 10th and leave to come home on the 17th. Please say a prayer for us that everything goes smoothly and our health remains good, that Kendall has an easy transition and does not grieve too much, and that Evan has a good time with his grandparents and doesn't miss us too much. We'll try our best to post from Beijing. If I can't get on Blogger, then my wonderful friend Becky will post the messages for me.

  2. Hi There! Found your blog on CCAI WC yahoo group site! Congrats on your journey to China - you are going to just love it! I must "ask" you if you can to do me a huge favor...if by chance you visit the SWI, can you please get some photos of our little guy Dang Zi Zhong who is waiting for us there? (he is currently 20 months old DOB 10-15-07) The only photos I have of him are from over a year ago (our referral ones) and I so need some recent photos to keep me going (I am sure you understand). If you can, we would so appreciate it...

    my email address is shelly22005@yahoo.com

    Here's to a beautiful and safe trip and you can bet we'll be following your journey along!
