ITINERARY IN CHINA

The bags are almost packed.  Just a few last minute things to add.  Thank goodness Donna donated her 2nd bag to Lily.  She has ALOT of stuff for a little person.   I may have to buy her another bag in China because I know she's going to want to do some shopping over there.

For those of you who don't know this, my good friend Donna is coming along with me to support me, take pictures and enjoy this great adventure.  I love her to pieces for coming along.  She going to be a great help and prevent me from falling apart.  Yeah right!! She's crying as much as I have been.  We are so doomed!

Here's the general game plan for the trip.

Our flight home is Air Canada Flight AC0032 and it arrives at 6:35. 
For anyone wishing to come to the airport to meet us, just keep in mind that we will need to clear customs and this may take a little longer than normal with Lily's paperwork.
We would love to see you at the airport and if you can take pictures because we won't be able to.  Just keep in mind that we will all be tired and won't have much time to visit but most importantly we can't overwhelm Lily so lots of hugs for me but you will have to wait to hug her until you see her another time and she's settled in a little.    See you soon!!
