We made it!

Our Stash (1/2 baby supplies & 1/2 mommy/daddy supplies)

The Bathroom (bring plenty of outlet converters)
Desk area, where I blew a fuse in the first 15 mins in the room! Whoops!

The living room



Driving by the lake on the way to the hotel

After 30 hours of travel time, we have made it to Vietnam! The best flight was the longest, we slept for 8 hours - it was pure exhaustion. We met up with the 2 other families at the airport once we were in Taipei. We are staying at the Hong Ngoc Hotel and it is lovely. I have included some pics. Today has consisted of resting, eating and JET LAG! We met with Martin, our coordinator while here and the G & R is scheduled for TUESDAY! We leave the hotel at 5:30 in the morning, which would be evening back home. We will travel to Lang Son (3 hour drive) and meet Christopher. Then we will go to the Justice department for the G & R ceremony. After the ceremony, Christopher will be legally ours in the eyes of Vietnam. They expect for us to be back sometime in the afternoon & hopefully apply for Christopher's passport the same day.We are super excited and extremely exhausted at this point. Tomorrow is all about catching up on sleep and preparing for baby, if that is possible.
Thank you to all our family that has helped us and supported us throughout this process!
Night Night!
