Path to our Vietnamese Sweeties

Follow us as we find the path to our children who are half way around the world. The road is unknown and undoubtedly full of curves, but God holds the map. He is who we will follow. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6

Flights

I'm always curious about the details.

Leave Detroit at 7:30pm fly to Seattle (flying time 4:53) (Lay over time 4:40)
Seattle to Taipei, Taiwan (flying time 12:35) (Lay over time 3:35)
Taipei to HCMC, Vietnam (flying time 3:20) (Lay over time?????)
HCMC, Vietnam to Danang, Vietnam (??)

It looks like we may then fly from HCMC to Danang (about an hour flight.) I think we may see the babies the very day we land in Vietnam.

So at the very least, we will have around 22 hours flying time and more than 8 hours of lay over time. We live over 2 hours from the airport added to arriving at the airport 2 hours before and then add time for traveling after we arrive in Vietnam. This means we could have 35 plus hours of travel time and then go directly to see the babies, and then possibly have our G&R the next day. That's the Giving and Receiving Ceremony, when we actually receive the babies. Let's just pray we can sleep on the flights and don't have jet leg too bad.

We know that there are many people praying for us and the babies. We truly appriecate those prayers. I have become more at peace this week, and keep remembering that God is the one in control.

Wow, that will be a trip. Take something with you to help you sleep on the long flight. Talk to the Dr if you don't already have something. You really are going to wish you had as once you get there it is non-stop! PLUS, you never know how well the babies are going to sleep with all the changes.
Praying for your family and excited for you!
