Getting ready to leave China

Louanne on Jul 30th 2007

Hi all. Today we had to hang out in the room for a couple hours while our guide Michael went to the American consulate with all of our documents. Once we were cleared we went out and did some more shopping then came back and ordered lunch while Nadia took a nap. Right now I am taking a break from packing to get ready for tomorrow.

It should be an easy day, we have our bags out by 2 pm. Leave the hotel a 2:45 and have our consulate appointment at 3 pm. From the consulate we go directly with 3 other families to the airport to catch our flight home.

I ask you now since you are all just waking up to please pray for us that Nadia is able to sleep tonight so that we can too. We are 13 hours ahead of you and she is having her night-time bottle right now with Daddy. She has a little cold and we were up and down for hours at a time last night because she was just feeling sad and miserable. We got enough sleep to function today, but we really need a solid amount of sleep before tomorrow. Our flight leaves at 9 pm, then we fly for 12 hours and arrive in LA. So we will arrive in LA at 7 pm on Tuesday and will most likely be beat up! There are 3 other families on the flight with us, so at least we won’t have the only crying baby.

Getting through customs takes a couple hours I have heard and then we have a reservation for a hotel in LA. So thanks to all who are willing to pray for us and our travel adventures getting home. I don’t know if I will post again before we are home.
Love, Louanne

    Safe travels Louanne, Mike and Nadia. Don’t worry, about the other passengers! Just try to relax and not stress (babies can sense it). You will be just fine! We’ll say a prayer for you!!! In case you haven’t heard GWCA sent the rest of us NOV peeps an email today, they are expecting a pkg from Beijing but aren’t sure what is in it!
    God Speed.

    Okay Louanne, how cute is your dad to call you LouGoo? :)

    I am lifting you up in prayer—praying for a good nights rest and a piece-of-cake flight to LA.

    So glad you’re going to be home soon!

    XO~
