We're HERE!!!!!

We are HERE, people!!!!! Yippeee!!!!!! We got in on Sunday at 10:00 a.m., Vietnamese time. We didn't do much of anything our first day....gosh, I guess that's only yesterday!!! We all pretty much just got into our room, arranged for a water cooler, took naps, just basically vegged. We had order in pizza for dinner...I KNOW, we were REALLY out there, eh??? It felt good after the long flight to just relax.

This morning we met with Martin and Kenny, from World Child, and had our 'briefing.' They were hoping our adoption ceremony would be Tuesday, but it looks like it won't be until Wednesday. So, our plan for tomorrow, then, is to take the Halong Bay tour with Laura and her family, and another family we met just today. I'm very much looking forward to the trip tomorrow! But, looking more forward to WEDNESDAY'S trip, of course!!!

Vietnam so far is wonderful. It's very very very humid and hot, but tolerable, for some reason. The people are amazingly polite and nice and very sweet. My sister and my mom are absolutely fascinated with watching the traffic from our 19th floor room. My mom seriously wanted to move the couch to the window to watch the traffic!!! LOL!!!

Everything has been going very smoothly thus far. Today, we did a little exploring in our building. There's a Citimart, some upscale shops, another little stand that I bought way too much at, restaurants and a couple coffee shops, including Highlands Coffee, which we haven't tried yet. We actually had Cokes (that come on the glass bottle and with a slice of lime!!!) and cheeseburgers! We had to have cheeseburgers just to prove to certain people back home that YES, you CAN eat just about anything here. :)

Right now we are just back in the room vegging again, and hope to maybe go out on the street in a little while. It's a great time, and it's amazing.......I just want to soak up everything.

We are all doing fine and okay! I cannot wait to post photos of our little one....soon!!!!!!!!!!!!
