We are now in Xi'an! Last night we went to bed at 6:30 pm our time here and we woke up at 12:30 am. Lia was wide awake and ready for action! We weren't! So we walked around the empty hotel for an hour, watched 50 Dora's and then went and had breakfast at 6:45 am. Next up, we got on a plane where the seats were very small and cramped for the 90 min flight. Lia passed out for the flight and the 1-hour bus ride to the hotel. Upon arrival at the hotel, she was again wide awake and ready for action. We aren't!
Tomorow we go to the orphanage and meet Lauren! Unfortunately a change in process means we leave her there until the next day. At that time, they bring her to us at the hotel, which is kind of nice. Of course, I will post pictures then.
So everthing is going pretty well. Lia is a champ at this travelling thing - other then not sleeping when we tell her - but what else is new.
Love to all at home.

Wonderful to hear you made it safe and sound. Ah, who needs sleep anyway? Can't wait for the pics of Lauren. When are you going to see the warriors? Keep having a ton of fun.
All the best

What fun to follow your travels. Best advice we can give you is to take turns sleeping while the other entertains the child(ren) - that way you might be at least partly functional when you need to do all that paperwork.
Looking forward to pictures, hint, hint...

Wow an experiece of a lifetime soon to be followed with receiving your daughter for the first time.Must seem surreal! Wishing we could share the euphoria, few times in Life are this special.No wonder you haven't slept!Sorry I missed you before you left for some reason I thought you were leaving today.
Glad to hear the trip is going so well. We can't wait to hear about Lauren tomorrow, and to see the pictures!
(We'll take notes for you in Mandarin class tomorrow):-)
Best,
