Well we are here after almost 41 hours of travel. Harrisburg to Chicago to Hong Kong to Ho Chi Minh, with fligh time, layovers and time change (12 hours this time of year) it was a very long trip. By the time we got our luggage, checked through immigration and customs, got to the hotel and checked in it was 1:15 in the morning here. Needless to say after a short wind down, we all hit the pillow hard.
It is interesting flying west, because you end up catching up with sun (sort of speak.) So as we were flying over the Arctic Circle down toward Russia, the sun was setting. But as we flew farther south it was higher in the sky, so it was if we were watching the sun rise in the west.
Unfortunately, the giving and receiving ceremony had to be postponed from today until tomorrow. So alas, we must WAIT one more day to officially hold our Christmas Angel. The orphanage director must be present for the G&R and he could not be there today.
Because of the Christmas holiday our travel arrangements were obviously hurried to get us over here, which then change the original plans for the days we were to be here. Obviously we would rather not wait ANOTHER day, but, at least she is now within an hours drive. :-)
So we will put this free day to good use by relaxing (I feel a nap coming on), adjusting to the time, do a little shopping, and hitting the pool. Maybe a good Vietnamese dinner tonight (yummy).
Thanks for all your prayers, and we will update some more tomorrow.

Almost two days in the air--overwhelming!
The description of the flight sounds so beautiful, though.
Looking forward to meeting Katelin!
