Official Travel Dates!

The official travel approval paperwork arrived via Fedex last Thursday.  On Monday I received an email that confirmed my travel dates.  We will be leaving on August 29th and return some time after September 13th.  My child handoff day or the "Gottcha" day will be September 2nd.  Last night, we were up until 2:00 trying to find just the right flights to and from China.  It is not cheap or easy to get from here to there.  Just kidding a little, I suggested that we fly all the way around the world by flying through Paris on the way there and come back through the West coast.  But, that route was way too expensive and it takes a very looong time. I am a little nervous about being on a plane for more than 10 hours, but I am sure every moment will be worth it.  We are stopping on the way back in Los Angeles for a few days and then traveling home probably on Sunday. I have so much do to until we leave that I am feeling.....I don't know......definately excited, anxious, estactic, thankful, a little bit crazed at the thought that I will have a son in five weeks!
