We Are Here!!!

These pics are at the airport in Hong Kong. The couple you don't know is Shane & Laura from Ohio that will be in our group while we are here... They are alos adopting a baby girl. She is 19 mths old. Pray for them and their baby girl too! we are finally here!!! OMG... that was the longest flight ever! A big shout-out to one of my BFFs (Christy) or shall I say her big sis (Pam) for the FYI on Bonine... This is the first time I have EVER flown and not gotten sick! Praise God! I got a little nausea on the first two small flights but on the long one to Hong Kong I was good! Bailee did not want to take one but I made him and I am so glad I did! He got a little sick about 30 minutes from HK but made it good the rest of the time. Rodney did great! He slept most of the time. Paps did good to but by the time we got to HK he was pretty stiff... His knees were pretty tight. We were so happy to see the Hotel and beds!!! Rodney & I both had only slept about 2 hrs the night before we left and Bailee & Paps about 4 hrs. so we were all prety tired. The plane was not very full so we got to have an extra seat between us on the flight and that helped some. But my tailbone does not want to see a plane seat anytime soon so if I can find a teaching job in China ya'll might have to come see me here (lol) They may have to knock me out to drag me back to a plane to get home.
***Ok... local culture ... They call the elevators LIFTS here and they rush them like the day after Thanksgiving sale at Macy's! So, when we were waiting nicely to get on the lift at the hotel a huge crowd of locals rushed the door and we all crowded in. As we rose to the next floor already packed in, the doors opened and another huge group got on and then all of a sudden we here BEEP BEEP BEEP very LOUDLY! This meant the weight limit had been met. I was thinking some little CHINA man is fixing to get a croc in the butt cause after 23 hrs of flying I am not staying on a stuck elevator!!! A few exited and the buzzer stopped... And I thought hurry up to the 13th floor and let me off of this thing.
***Another funny... I wish someone would let my hubby in on the secret that chinese is not spanish. He keeps saying see to all the chinamen for yes. Bailee and I are laughing out loud every time he talks to them.
***Rodney & Paps want someone stateside to find Aug 12th and send it back to us or our bodies anyway cause we feeling it bad! Somehow we lost that day and my back knows it! lol
Today we are on our own to goof off and relax! Tomorrow (Sat here) we have a 6 hour intense tour of HK. I hope I can keep up b/c I am lagging behind most of the time.
I will post our itinerary for you all in another post to follow. Thank you all for the prayers... They are mighty powerful and working. We are safe, excited, and having a good time. The miracle of me not getting sick for the first time ever is proof enough that your prayers are working! Rodney is THRILLED and still a little shocked! Please remember to pray for Sophie... Our prayer is for her to have peace with the transition to our family, for her to be as healthy as we think she is, and for her to not have trouble attaching or with post traumatic adoption syndrome PTAS. God is good so I know that He can answer these. I mean just look here we are in CHINA the country my baby girl was born into. How awesome is that!!! 3 more days until we get to hold our baby for the first time and our lives will be forever blessed even more!
Blessings,
Tammy in CHINA :-)
