Got to get going !

Well according to my calculations Madeline and I will be in China in 19 days ! I can not believe it ! Our plan is to start packing this weekend. I have all of our documents ready to go. Our money has been wired- I am so excited ! When we adopted Mia we were with a very large agency. Our travel plans were made for us, we were in a large group and did a lot of sight-seeing. This time we are making our own arrangements, we are traveling alone, and have our own guide. It will be interesting. I keep wondering what Elijah is thinking -

I am so thrilled for you. I have been missing China so much lately! How exciting for Madeline and how odd to be on your own. It will be amazing. Your family and Elijah are in our prayers.

We traveled alone also....and had our own guide...We LOVED it!!! It was so nice to have our very own guide. She was amazing...so that made all the difference.

We didn't meet up with anyone until GZ...then it was only 4 families. We were still pretty much on our own...it was amazing. I'm so excited for your family!!

Thinking of you and Eli :-)

We traveled alone and everything went fine. Being alone also frees up the guide and gives us his undivided attention.

I am so excited to follow this journey.

Give a big hello to Lucy for me:)
