Only Three More Days to China!!

Incredibly, the time to travel is upon us!  It has been a whirlwind week packing, running errands, and finishing up our school year!  We are all getting a little nervous and VERY excited :)  I seem to have developed perpetual butterflies in my stomach which I am hoping will go away once we are actually on our way.  We received our itinerary and it is quite full...lots of sightseeing interspersed with adoption paperwork.  We also know where we are staying now:  The Chang An Grand Hotel in Beijing and the White Swan in Guangzhou.  Both look beautiful, and it has been great to show pictures off the internet to the kids so they have some idea what it will be like.  That has really helped calm some of their fears (Isn't technology amazing??)  The only snafu in anything is that we were scheduled to receive little Catherine Fu Juan the very next day after arriving.  We decided to leave early so we would have a turn around day for the time change and somehow that got confused.  Hopefully it can be worked out.  I have found it very difficult, wanting to have her IMMEDIATELY but knowing that I want our meeting the first time to be as low-stress as possible and we have NO idea how the boys will be the day after a 14 hour plane ride in a very foreign country!!  Thanks for all your prayers and support everyone!
