Saturday, December 9, 2006

Well, after being on the airplane for 16+ hours, we finally made it to Hong Kong . We had close to a 2 hour delay in Chicago due to a mechanical problem. However, we had a smooth flight and made it safely. We all slept some, but not near enough. After we got to our hotel, we all crashed…but then Grace woke Mike and I up around 2am and never went back to sleep. It really does take some adjustment to get used to a 13 hour time change. I think it hit me this morning and also Graham. We both were sick this morning, but felt so much better after a nap and some food.

Today we had a dim sum lunch with several groups from our agency. Then we went on a tour to Victoria Peak , a fishing village and some shopping. It was fun! I think we are all getting anxious to get on with business and meet our new babies. Then we will really be ready to shop.

Speaking of meeting our new baby, we will be leaving our hotel around 8:30 in the morning (Sunday) to go to the airport to fly to Nanchung. We will be getting Sarah Joy sometime after we arrive in Nanchung. We are so excited!!!

Please pray that we get a good night’s sleep tonight and feel rested for the task of tomorrow. Our next post will include pictures of “Gotcha!!” Thanks for all of the precious comments in our guestbook. You have all been such an inspiration to us!!

Until next time….

Leigh Ann and the rest of our crew
