And we're off...

As I type we are sitting on a plane awaiting to depart St. Louis for Vietnam (by way of LA and Taiwan).

It was very difficult leaving our Aiden behind. But it was not too bad for him thanks to our friends Nikki and Nathan. As we walked away and he started to cry, they presented him with a new toy that was an excellent distraction. It didn't really help us though, we sobbed all the way to the gate.

We should arrive in LA around 9:00pm (PST) and then leave for Taiwan around 1:00am.

We arrive in Saigon, VN around 10:00am on Tuesday (and yes, if you are doing the math that is over 36 hour of travel). I am sure we will look and smell quite funky upon arrival. We will rest for a little less than a day' before boarding a bus for the 8 hour ride to the orphanage. We hope to keep this updated frequently.

If you see Aiden, please give him hugs and kisses from us.

(((Craig and Chaunta))) I should have sent you guys off with a new toy boat too!;)
Aiden did very well on the way out to the car, he played with his toy boat and threw his little person a few times.
I can't wait to see pictures of Liam!
Love ya!
