It's Travel Day !!!

For the past couple of weeks I've been working and stressing over packing. I've made about four trips to Babies-R-Us and Target over the past couple of days alone. Now, I am very glad to say that the bags are officially packed and zipped and ready. I've triple checked my list and I'm hoping and praying I didn't forget to add anything to it. Of course, at this point both bags weigh right at 40 pounds. The limit is 44 so if we had to make another stop by Target on the way out, we still have about four pounds per bag to spare :-)

Our flight doesn't leave until 9:15 tonight. We fly into LA where we have a two hour layover. From there it's a 12 hour and 40 minute straight shot to Beijing. We are scheduled to arrive at 5:20 am Thursday morning. We'll be in Beijing until Sunday. While we are there we'll get to do a few tours which we are looking forward to. Sunday we fly to Chongqing. In my last post I said we would be getting Ella Sunday but the final itinerary has us picking her up Monday afternoon.

For now, I'm waiting on Rob to get home and trying my best not to take a nap. I took the day off to finish up the packing and getting the house ready for my sis-in-law who is house / dog / cat / fish sitting for us. It all started about 5:00 am and considering the fact neither one of us got a good nights sleep I'm having a hard time keeping the eyes open. Just one more hour before we leave. Guess I should find something else to keep me busy.
