We're Outta Here!

Today is the day!  We're leaving for China in a few short hours.  Including layovers and flight time, it will take us approximately 31 hours from the time we leave until we land in Jiangsu province.  Sure hoping we can get some sleep on the plane!

Thank goodness for one of our online friends, Jennifer, who is also adopting a boy from Jiangsu, and who is in China now.  She has given us invaluable reports from the ground to let us know exactly what we can expect when we get there.  From weather reports, to fast food reviews, to tips on how to soothe our grieving boy, we're very grateful for her advice!  I'm hoping we'll get the chance to meet her and her family in person when we get to Nanjing on Sunday.  We've been fortunate to have met so many kind and generous people during our adoption journey.  It's pretty awesome.

  1. One more time: Have a great trip!

    It will be awesome. Have fun, take lots of pictures and take good notes on what you do and see so you will be able to remember them.

    We can't wait to see you with Silas.

    Take care,

    Kevin, Violet and Jake
