FRIENDS WORLD-WIDE

First of all, thanks for your prayers about the weather. It couldn’t have been any better. Our flight was delayed, however, because the flight crew had not been able to get the required number of resting hours necessary to legally fly. The delay was almost 2 hrs. We used this time to grab a quick bite to eat. DD used this time to make a new friend. This is a picture of our waitress. I’m not sure who was the most talkative…It was a close call.

DD out exploring the airport. She just couldn’t sit still.

The flight to Newark went well. DD entertained herself quite well and took a little nap.

Even with the delay, we had a few extra minutes before our international flight. We had a chance to meet the families that we would travel with…more new friends for DD.

Again, it was very difficult for DD to sit still. If she had really known how long the flight to China was going to be, she might have been standing on her head or swinging from the rafters of the place. LOL

Let me assure those of you who are waiting to travel to China that the ride is just as long the 2nd time as it was the first!!!!! Maybe even longer! DD was very good. She even slept quite a bit, but 15 hours of sitting is long no matter where you are going!!!

When we arrived in Hong Kong, we were greeted by Ben, the same guide that we had when we adopted DD…another new friend for DD.

Better yet, Ben brought his two daughters to meet DD.
They instantly became friends! Aren’t they precious?

Tomorrow, we will meet Ben at 9:00 and board another plane. We will be on our way to An Hui to meet our little Doodlebug!

I have been checking your site frequently to see if you guys made it okay. Glad to see DD made some new friends. She looks like she had alot to keep her occupied on the trip. I am pure giddy about seeing Doodlebug in your arms. You all are being prayed for. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
