Travel Dates!!!


The dates are set, and the tickets are booked!!! I'M GOING TO CHINA!!!! Anyways, this is how the trip will look. A more detailed Itinerary to come:

August 8th: Leave for Vancouver

August 9th: Leave for Beijing

August 10th: Arrive in Beijing

August 12th or 13th: Fly to Guangxi

August 13th: Channing will be placed in my arms!!!

August 17th: Fly back to Beijing

August 23rd: Leave for Vancouver

August 23rd: Arrive HOME!!!!!

As many of you who are part of my daily life know...I have been very busy these past weeks. This is an amazing time in my life!! I'm trying to get my house all ready for Channing, things organized for when I'm gone to China, paperwork finished, shopping finished and packing started. I have to take a few days in the next week to go lap top and video camera shopping....which I'm not looking forward too!!! Also I'm starting to get exicted about a few months off from work....so I have to get things organized and ready for my replacement!!! I'm truly sorry for the emails that aren't getting answered right away and comments that I'm not leaving on your blogs. I'm reading them, but dont have the time to keep up to them at the moment!! Please know how important each and every one of you are to me and without your support I could not have made it through this journey.

Oh Kim, we completely understand the busyness. We're standing beside you, supporting you, praying for you, cheering you on and completely understanding that email is not your top priority right now.

SO excited that you have your travel dates! Wahoo! Looking forward to following your journey. While you're in China may I put a link to your blog on mine?

On another note, I just bought a Dell laptop and am very happy with it. I haven't had much time to do stuff yet but my Dad had is for the past couple of weeks and really likes it.

Dell has such a good name and it was wonderful to buy it online and just have it arrive at my home a week later. No muss...no fuss. You might want to look at www.dell.ca and look at their laptop deals. Just a thought.

Praying for you friend as you prepare to travel and meet precious Channing. It was so exciting to hear that you'll be with some other Canadian friends in Beijing too!

SOOOOO excited for you Kim !!!!!!! How fun that we are both bringing our daugthers home the same summer !!!!

Tip for movie camera, if you can buy a Canon. You will not be disapointed and they are REALLY easy to get used to without being too confused !
