3/7 Update

Well, I sent the check for the plane tickets today and we got our passports back with the visas. It is all coming together. We bought Sarah a Gameboy Advance SP and a few games for the trip. She has been so patient in this whole process !! I keep waking up at around 4:30 in the morning and then my brain gets going and I get up because I know I won't fall back asleep. I am getting alot done in the early a.m., but am really tired early in the night !!

We went shopping at Target on Sunday and got stuff for the trip - medicines, etc. I think we are almost set. I am waiting for few things to come in the mail. I ordered some converter plugs for our devices and a few other items.

Xiao's new room is the staging area and is getting full. I keep saying "pack light, pack light" !! Some of the stuff is for the orphanage and the caregivers, so we will get rid of that stuff in Urumqi and then have room for stuff we buy.

Current temperatures: Beijing - 36 - 54 , Urumqi - 30-41 , Guangzhou - 68 - 78 Current time is: 5:43 a.m. on 3/8.
