ON OUR WAY

Alright guys, its our final post before we head to VN. We have a 9 hour flight to Korea, then a layover for a few hours, then on to Hanoi! I'm very proud of our luggage status, 2 checked bags, 1 carry on, and a small backpack for each of us. One big bag has all of our orphanage donations and the other bag has everything for me, Bill, & Thuy all in one. Quite impressive for those of you who know me personally and know what a big packer I am. The suitcase that now travels for 3, is what I took for myself when I was in VN in the fall. There was a 50 lb wt limit which we were over on the donation bag, but we payed the over charge, and we're on our way. The other bag was 49.9 lbs, very close, but I made it!

I bought some of those space saver bags at Walmart, and those really helped. Bill, Thuy, and I each have our own space saver bag with all our clothes in it. I must admit Thuy's bag is the biggest. Sad when you think how much smaller her clothes are than ours. Its hard to pack for a baby, when I've never had a baby, and don't truly know just how many outfits they need, and how much is really necessary. I had all my travel lists from my adoptive friends on what to pack, thank you to you all for your help.

Thank you Melissa for the big care package, Thuy will be modeling some of the beautiful outfits. And thank you Liz for all the diaper bag goodies, very helpful.

So, we're off, next time we blog...... Vietnam!!!!
