I can hardly believe I am typing those words, it doesn't really seem real! We have had a few little hiccups in the last week and a half before travel-I just went to the dr. today, Jackson went yesterday, and Ryan had a health emergency last week (having to do with his eye, nothing life threatening!). But thankfully we are all doing well and Ryan and I are getting ready to travel! The illnesses have just interferred with cleaning my house so unfortunately my parents are going to be staying at a dirty house. Luckily they'll love us anyway :). SO many last minute things to do but I think we are pretty much ready now.
Our general schedule:
Wed May 1- leave in the am.
Arrive in Tokyo, then fly to Hong Kong. Arrive Thursday evening their time.
We'll stay in Hong Kong until Sunday the 5, then take a train to Guangzhou.
Monday May 6- meet Claire in the afternoon!!!!
Tuesday, May 7- we officially adopt Claire!!!!
Tuesday May 14-leave Guangzhou to go to Hong Kong
Wednesday, May 15-leave HK and arrive home that same day (due to the time change)! Too bad it can't really go that fast since we'll be traveling with a 20 month old :).
Our flight from here to Tokyo is about 12 hours, I've never been on a plane that long in my life! I'm mostly worried about how Claire will do on the airplane so please say lots of prayers for us on May 15! :)
I'm hoping to blog while we are in China so you can follow along on our trip! Only 6 days until we can hold our daughter for the first time!!
