It's early Wednesday morning. I just woke up and can't go back to sleep, so I thought I'd at least do a post. In a little more than 24 hours, we will be boarding a plane in Lexington, KY, on our first leg of a very long trip. A trip that we've waited a lifetime for. Simply amazing. Here is a short travel agenda, so that you will know what to expect as we journey to China:

12:15 PM Leave Newark, NJ for Beijing (13+ hour flight)
1:45 PM Land in Beijing

- July 30th, around noon, will be "Gotcha Day," the day we finally meet Karsynn (It will be Sunday night here in the US, but Monday afternoon for us)

Maybe staying up for a couple of days straight will be good. That way when you board the plane for that 13+ hour flight you will be tired enough to sleep for a good portion of the flight. It's so awesome to think that you guys are leaving tommorrow as a couple, and coming home a family. Can't wait to see Karsynn when you get back. take care of yourselves.

I hope you have a safe, quick & painless flight to China! I'm sure it seems surreal that you are actually leaving now after such a long wait.
I'm looking forward to following your journey!
