We made it!

After 2 1/2 days of planes and airports, we have finally arrived in Hefei. We are both suffering from a huge case of jet lag. We have not slept since, well since, it's been so long I can't remember. Our flight from Houston was delayed for over 2 hours. It's pretty frustrating being less than 10 minutes away from your home and forced to sit there and wait. We were afraid our trip would be stalled before we even got started. But we made the flight and hustled through LAX to find we still had time to sit in another airport and wait for our flight to China.

We arrived in Guangzhou at 5:00am (China time) and met up with another IFS family. Together we sat in the airport until 12:30, trying to stay awake. It better be true that sleeping makes it harder the next day! Not too long after we found our guide and loaded up onto another flight towards another airport. Thankfully this is our last flight for a few days. (More on Hefei later)

Now the good stuff...



We have to get some rest because our guide has managed to get us the first appointment in the morning. 8:30 am we will meet and see Ty for the first time! We also managed to get an afternoon appointment to make the adoption final. (They said our guide was always quick and they weren't kidding!) I'm too tired to pack a bag and too groggy to worry about it. I figure when we wake up in the middle of the night, we'll have something to do.

We also found out that we will be able to visit the orphanage and her finding spot. Stay tuned for details.

PS: Quick introduction - Ginger has graciously volunteered to post for us when and if we are unable to do so. Please welcome her and maybe comment so she continues to believe that people are actually interested in what goes on at this blog!!
