Itinerary

Hard to believe that we are leaving for China in just over 3 days! You should see our living room right now. I feel like a girl scout...we are prepared for anything. Pedialyte, prune juice (for the opposite but equally unpleasant problem), tiny little sewing kit, we've got it all. I went to the bank after work today to withdraw what we affectionately refer to as our "wad-o-cash". Chris thinks that the cash should be distributed between the two of us in amounts proportional to our body weight. I guess he thinks that I would be an easy target for a take-down if we're mugged. Gee, it's not like we will be conspicuous tourists or anything... a very caucasion-looking couple traveling with a Chinese baby. Seriously, I'm sure everything will be fine. We just can't wait to get our hands on her! Here is our itinerary as far as we know:

Friday, June 8th Depart Indpls 7:00AM, Arrive LA 8:17 AM
Spend the day in LA doing some sightseeing and killing time
Depart LA 11:50 PM

Sunday, June 10th Arrive Guangzhou 6:20 AM. Someone from the
orphanage will bring Alina to us at the hotel that evening

Monday, June 11th Adoption Day (AKA appointments and paperwork)
Sightseeing and other stuff yet to be determined for the rest
of the week

Thursday, June 21st Consulate Appointment

Friday, June 22nd Depart Guangzhou 9PM, arrive LA 6:50 PM (on the same day)

June 22nd-June 23rd Staying at Four Points Sheraton (LA Airport)
Chris' dad and Lisa meeting us at the airport

Saturday June 23rd Depart LA 9:30 AM, arrive Indpls 4:34 PM

I just read your blog to Sky (our 3 1/2 yr old from China for those of you who don't know us)
After reading the whole itinerary, Sky Said "I hope they sleep on the plane because it's going to be a long airplane ride and it's going to be dark!"
I second that!
Love to you all...
