9 Days until travel!

Wow hard to believe our long wait is just about done! In nine days we board a plane from DFW to fly to LA and then on to Guangdong. I can't say I'm excited about the flight; however, we are flying during the night so maybe I'll be able to sleep through most of the flight. Prescription sleep medication will be my best friend. I have been to Germany before, so not a first for leaving the states. Any advice on easier ways of traveling or toys to pack for a two year-old to keep her occupied while gone would greatly be appreciated!

Jenny from Great Wall formed a group on FaceBook for all the families adopting from China. We had our first meet and greet last night. The majority of the chat revolved around travel. What a neat way to converse with a variety of families in different phases of their adoption.

I still am collecting squares and got lucky with a neighbor dropping me off four squares yesterday (Thanks Joan!) . If any of you could send me one or two, I'd be forever greatful!

We also heard from Ann at Red Threads last night that our Care Package we sent to Ally was received and that she would be able to receive it. Just curious now to see if part of that stuff comes with her on Gotcha Day!
