Our last night in Hanoi was Friday, December 12th. Having
successfully obtained Sophia Rose's Visa at the U.S. Embassy,
we had a get together with the other PLAN families that were
in Hanoi adopting their babies.
Leaving on a Jet Plane...
Our stop over in Taipei had the most amazing airport, including
an orchid garden, Hello Kitty playground, a prayer room and relaxing room
and best of all a Hello Kitty Nursery with everything needed to
refresh the weary baby traveler after the 3 hour flight from Hanoi. We
didn't have the heart to tell Sophia that the next and final leg of the trip was
a 14 hour non stop flight from Taipei to Newark.
Chillin at the Nursery...
More chillin...
Not bad accommodations; wish it was big enough for mommy
and daddy too!!!!
About 4 hours out of Taipei, somewhere far above the pacific I couldn't help but think about the song Susan chose for this blog, 'Somewhere out there' . I am sure she and Sophia Rose were sleeping under the 'same big sky' that is lit by the star that is Lisa Rose, who we know has been watching over us throughout this most amazing journey.
