"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life." Proverbs 13:12 Join the joyous journey to my baby in China!

Thursday, November 02, 2006

We are here safe and sound! From the time we left my house to the time we arrived at our hotel in Beijing it was 27 hours. Our first flight was 15 hrs and the next was 3. I got very sick 10 hrs into the first flight with a massive migraine and was throwing up. Between flights we were able to get into my checked bag to access the liquid medicines and I've gotten a lot better but still not great. We are going to an acrobatic show in a little bit. We aren't able to view blogger and cannot upload pictures yet. I also can't email pictures yet but hopefully we will be able to figure out a way to do that tomorrow. I've heard it will be easier in Guangzhou. It's very surreal and other than getting sick things have gone very smoothly. Four more days until we meet Abbey!

Thank you to everyone who called, emailed and posted before I left. I got into such a packing frenzy that I wasn't able to respond, but it meant so much to hear from everyone and know that you were following along.

Bye for now!

    I was glad to read you're feeling better today.

    I experienced the same migraine issue on the flight home (which is the worst). I took two painkillers, it was bad. 13+ hours is a LONG time to endure all that high altitude pressure.

    Can't wait to see you with Abbey!
