Our stroller travel "system" arrived yesterday! I keep shifting between feeling this is getting real and have a sense that this is very surreal. Loren came home from a business trip to Bermuda with this t-shirt which made Laura and me very happy :)
Yesterday we overnighted our passports and visa application to the Vietnamese consulate in San Francisco. So we will be keeping our fingers crossed that our documents and visa will be safely returned to us in time for our trip!
We are starting our long travel to Vietnam on Thanksgiving day. Friday was completely booked since the day after Thanksgiving is such a busy travel day. We will fly to San Francisco and then on to Taipei. From Taipei we will fly into Hanoi arriving there late Saturday morning. We are arriving on Saturday so we can recuperate on Sunday to get rested up before the trip to the orphanage on Monday. We will be staying at the Lucky Star but we are still waiting for a confirmation e-mail from them.
Our little Sophie Rose will be in our arms in 2 weeks!!!

YAY!!! We are so excited to follow your journey! Two weeks can't come fast enough, I know!! She'll be in your arms for Christmas! :-)
LOVE the stroller system! And that T-shirt....too cute and so special. Daddy presents are so precious!
I can feel the excitement in your words, and it brings back a flood of memories of my trip to Vietnam to bring Petunia home. I bet the two weeks go by faster than you'd think, at least I hope they do. And flying on Thanksgiving Day is probably a great plan! I flew (domestically) on Thanksgiving several years ago and the airports were so empty. It was really nice, and I hope it is for you as well.
It won't be long now. Cute t-shirt.

great shirt...now it just needs a little body inside of it :)
Super news! You will enjoy both the Lucky Star and traveling to VN at this time of year (not as hot!). Best wishes for stress-free packing! Just remember the meds, your bottle liners (if applicable) and the blow up bathtub and the rest you can get over there if you forget it. Yay!
