Leaving today for China 11/03/2004

November 3, 2004

It is 9 am and I am waiting for my husband to get out of teh shower. We are all packed and all we have to do is get dressed. Well, actually we do have to wait for the car service to pick us up and take us to JFK airport in NY too. My dad felt bad that he couldn't take us to teh airport, so he paid for the car service.

We opted for the non-stop flight from JFK to Beijing because it is ONLY 13 hours on the plane, which is significantly better than the 26 hours of flying, layovers and flying via Los Angeles or other routes. I can't imagine coming home with a baby and having to change planes and have layovers. Coming home the flight will be longer because we have an intra-country flight from the south of China to Beijing, which is a 4 hour flight and then the 13 hour flight back to NY.

I can't wait to meet Pam and Steve from New Hampshire. They are with the same adoption agency as us and will be on the same flight from JFK to Beijing too. We've spoken on the phone and communicated with them via email, but we will finally meet them in person today. Will post again later as time allows.
