Today, all the families flew to Hanoi to start the second leg of our journey. Before we left, we met 3 famililes from Adoptions From the Heart who had just arrived the night before. They'll be picking up their kids tomorrow.
We flew Vietnam Airlines, business class and it was really a nice flight. Logan was GREAT the whole time. He ate, played a little and just pretty much had a nice trip. He loves to be moving. Max, one of the other kids, had a screaming attack as we were descending but he was OK. All in all, it was definitely a much better trip than I had expected. The flight was delayed almost an hour but we were in the Business Class lounge and weren't really in any hurry so it was no problem at all. The flight took about an hour and a half.
We're at the Sheraton Hanoi now. It's a very nice hotel. We're told that the President stayed here when he was in Hanoi a few months ago. I'm sure he was on a higher floor. :-) We walked to a little restaurant that had all different kinds of food. Most of us got Mexican and everyone seemed to like it.
Tomorrow we have the US Embassy interview which is the last hurdle on the trip. I'm nervous about it the same way I was nervous about the other meetings. Wish me luck!
That's about it for today. Oh, except for one thing. Our facilitator/escort told us that Hanoi in the summer doesn't have "nice weather like in Ho Chi Minh City". It's hotter and rainier! How about that?!? We'll let you know if that holds true.
Good night everyone.
