Only a 4 more days until we depart. I still have lots to get done before we leave so the mad rush is on. But, fortunately, the big tasks are done. I made the final arrangements with the adoption agency, our tickets have been purchased and the Vietnam visas have been issued.
We'll depart on 11/20 morning from the US and will arrive in Ho Chi Minh City on 11/21 in the evening. There are 3 flights, 2 layovers and a 24+ hours of travel. The longest segment will be from Atlanta to Seoul - 13 hours.
I can't say I'm looking forward to the flights, but I will definitely be prepared to entertain Isabel during the flights. We will have crayons, coloring books, DVDs, new toys, snacks, and books. Plus, according to the USA Today, our airline has one of the better in-flight entertainment systems. The movies they will be showing are: Hancock, The Forbidden City, Swing Vote, and Speed Racer. I haven't seen any of them so watching them will kill some time.
Once we arrive in Vietnam, we'll spend a day adjusting to the time before we meet Evan. Depending on how we feel, we may do a little sight seeing in Ho Chi Minh City. Otherwise, we probably do a little shopping for the things we didn't want to pack and things to take to the orphanage.

Michelle,
Thanks for keeping us up-to-date with your blog. We are dying to talk to you, but won't call as I am sure you have tons of packing and a mile-long to do list before your departure.
We are also praying for great travel weather with no delays. God has a beautiful promise waiting for you in Ho Chi Minh City, and you and Isabel are very blessed to be able to bring Evan home.
Try to get some rest, before your duties (AND JOY!!) quadruple!!!!
Love,
Kara and Greg and Arianna

Sent your blog address to the next two travelers.
