Our Travel Dates

Ok. We're booked.

We leave on July 20 and arrive in Ho Chi Minh City late at night on the 21st.

I was thinking that we'd have the day Sunday to go about prepping the apartment, but our coordinator in Vietnam just told us that if we arrive on Saturday night they might just take us over to the orphanage to get the girls on Sunday.

At this point we are booked to come home on August 9, arriving back around 5:00 pm.

We love the travel agent that the agency recommended and for a few extra dollars we had her arrange to have us fly in and out of the small airport that is about 5 minutes from our house. It makes for a slightly longer trip because there is a layover with that route, but we don't have to worry about driving home several hours from one of the other airports.

First thing Al said this morning was "32 days." Cute.

Love Tina

I wanted to just quickly write a note to let you know we are parents to a set of identical twins from Viet Nam, adopted in December 06. Good luck and try to get sleep now, cause twins are CRAZY amounts of work and a joy to have and raise and love.

safe travels-Jenny

Hi Jenny and Michele,

Thanks for the notes!

Jenny, we are trying to get our sleep now and are starting to get terrified. Probably a good thing! I think I read your blog faithfully and it has helped me get prepared. I appreciate your humor and honesty when you write!
