Day 1

We took off from Newark airport straight through to Hong Kong at 1:50 am. Shhwooo - that is late or early depending on your perspective! It worked well since both (little) boys fell asleep and stayed asleep for about 8 hours. Once they woke up they were both well behaved and no one wanted to jump off the plane.  It is a 15+ hour flight - a long time for big or little to sit!

We landed in Hong Kong at 5:30 in the morning.... we wandered to our next gate for a 30 minute flight to Guangzhou China.

Guangzhou is the city we will meet Allyson in and stay in for the next week and a half to complete the adoption process. It is located in southern China so the weather here is HOT oh and might I mention HUMID. Oh my.....

So while we are recovering from our jet lag , swimming and having fun - the main purpose of our trip is never far from our minds.... please pray for our girl - she is about to have her world turned upside down! Although she is already loved and we can not wait to meet her she is not going to totally understand all that is happening and might not be so excited to meet us.

We will meet Allyson at 2:30 local time today - that will be 2:30 am for most of you! We will keep you posted :)

Thank You!!!
