The ball is rolling! Tonight I booked the tickets that will get us to Seattle. Alaska Airlines is having a pretty good deal until tomorrow at noon so I had to book. With a companion ticket and 15,000 miles the three of us can get to Seattle and back for $800. I still don't have Josi's passport in my hand, but when I called the passport office yesterday they told me that it had been mailed on Wednesday, so I'm trusting that it will be here soon.
In Seattle we will meet up with my sister and then we will head to CHINA! We are going to a reunion for children adopted from Cadi's orphanage. We will travel for 13days and have 9 days in China. It's amazing how far away China is from Alaska when it comes to travel. We are pretty excited because another family from our adoption group will be there! We haven't seen them in 10 years! Winter seems to be so much easier to take when you have something to plan for and anticipate. Did I say WE'RE GOING TO CHINA!

I'm so excited for you, I'm so glad you just decided to go for it!!! What a memorable trip for the three of you. If you haven't seen it, try to get the video Found in China by Carolyn Stanek about taking her two daughters back to China. I met her at a video showing, and I watched her earlier videos about adopting TaiLi and KaiMei.
