We made it to China!! It was a long flight. Lexi was a trouper. She slept for about 3 hours in the airport before we got on the plane and then slept for the first 6 hours. The flight was 15 hours. We wouldn't have made it through with out Nana's big colossal bag of snacks. Russ made fun, but he appologized in the end (actually, he was the first to ask for snacks). Painful in several ways, but we made it. Our group is made up of 23 families, 7 are getting babies from Cady's orphanage. We have to meet the group at 6:30 tomorrow morning to head back to the airport to fly to Changsha, we'll get the babies shortly after arriving. I'll post pictures as soon as I can (although I'm not quite sure how because my blogger dashboard is in Chinese:)
We've had our first yummy Chinese meal. We had dim sum that was delightful. There are a few other vegetarians in our group so we sat together and enjoyed meatless dishes. So yummy, we'll have to explore what Orlando has to offer!
Until tomorrow...
