We arrived today (Tuesday) in Hanoi at about 12:35 p.m. It was about 30 hours of total travel time, and although it is only 6:30 p.m. here, we are exhausted and ready for bed!! The Giving & Receiving Ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow. The in-country facilitator is meeting us in the morning at 8 a.m. for the drive out to the orphanage to meet KAI!!!
I don't know if any of you have heard about it or not, but within the last three days, northern Vietnam has received about 20 inches of rain and there is flooding all around. It was the most rain they have received in that amount of time in over 20 years! We heard about it as we were about to leave, but after checking the flights it didn't look like there any delays, so we just figured we would deal with it when we got here. As we flew in this morning, you could see large areas of flooding. Over 40 deaths have been attributed to the flooding, and you could see why. The devastation was huge!! Now they are worried about disease, post-flood, and lots of people are wearing face masks.
I can't wait to tell you all about the sights and sounds we have seen thus far, but for now I can only tell you how EXTREMELY EXCITED we are to get to meet Kai tomorrow for the first time!!!
Austin is doing well; we got to talk to him earlier today.
Hopefully when you see this next we will have been able to post pictures with our girl!!! YAY!!!!!
