We're in China

We are here finally!!!! People are not made to be on a plane for 16 hours straight. Our connecting flight in HongKong was delayed due to thunderstorms so we didn't get in until midnight China time (noon US time). Also, we are missing one suitcase (the one with all the pepto, my brush, makeup, and half of our gifts). Hopefully, the airlines will find it. CHI is so awesome though!!!! We didn't think anyone would be waiting for us because it was so late (our info packet said after 11p we may have to find our own taxi to the airport), but our guide was there!!!!! We were so thankful, after being in an airport or plane for about 30 hours and losing our luggage - I was about ready to lose it but there was a CHI sign and a beacon of light (thank you Lord).

Well the plan is that we have a meeting at 11a tomorrow and than we leave at 2p to pick up Alyssabelle. It has finally really hit me that in a few hours we are going to see our precious daughter for the first time.

Mom, J, & D - tried calling you on Skype (the webcam and internet) but no one answered. We don't have our panda phone yet - got in too late. We'll try and get up at a decent time so we can talk in the AM our time and PM your time. Love you all and miss you already!!!
