We are leaving Fri May 29 for Ho Chi Minh City. A few days over 3 months from the date of the proposal. It will take 26 hours to get there. We're flying to Chicago, Tokyo and then HCMC with Japan Air. Apparanty the baggage allowance is two bags per person at 23 kg each. God bless them.
The Giving and Receiving ceremony date is set for June 3. This is the day we make the 4 hour trip to the orphanage at Tra Vinh to meet our son and legally adopt him. What a day that will be.

Hey Dave and Lillian...I don't usually do blogs. (And I'm not sure this is going to work because I had to set up an account with livejournal) But I want to wish you a good and safe trip and hope everything goes well for you. I'm sure you're both very excited...I'm looking forward to seeing the little guy in person...Have a great trip...Mark
ReplyDeleteDear D & L: I'm absolutely busting with happiness and excitement for both of you, and I can't wait to visit all of you on your return. I had trouble setting up my account with Google, but I did it, cuz I'm very stubborn, and it worked after many attempts. Have a good flight, both ways, and don't stop hugging and kissing this beautiful little boy. Much love -- Ruthie
ReplyDelete...excited to follow in your footsteps.
ReplyDeleteall the best tomorrow on your flights.
The trip to Tra Vinh is amazing - enjoy every second! Think of it as a "free" tour of the Mekong Delta.
ReplyDeleteBring a sweater even if you are melting outside because the AC in the van will be cold.
Best wishes!!
Dear Lillian and Dave...
ReplyDeleteWe were thrilled to hear from you and all about your trip. The baby is so gorgeous. What a wonderful anniversary present for you.
We read through the whole blog again and its very exciting to keep up with where you are. You've only been gone two days and we miss you already.
(This is Mark...I got Mom and Dad's computer going and I've set up an icon on the desktop so it should be easy for them to open up the blog)
Looking forward to hearing every little detail and especially on Wednesday when you finally see your son and our grandson.
We had all the kids for dinner tonight...we missed you, but you guys were mostly the subject of conversation.
Stay well...keep in touch...we love you...Mom & Dad
