Not much to say about yesterday except that we spent alot of time in the airport. Due to the trip to the orphanage, Alisha was so tired yesterday morning, that after we woke her, got her ready, she was ready to go back to sleep. I stayed in the room with her and Jerry and Michael headed to the notary and back to Civil Affairs Office for her passport. Unfortunately, Alisha's passport had a mistake on it but the correction was made quickly and we were set to go.
Upon arriving at the airport, we found a ton of delays due to early morning fog. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 2:30 and we finally left about 7pm. At this airport, they will not let you check in until they know your plane is coming. So we sat in the cold front part of the airport for about 4 hours with all of our baggage. CRAZY! Finally, they let us check in and we could go upstairs to our gate. Once up at the gate, they don't have times up at the gates. They call your plane and everyone runs to the gate to get on the bus that takes you to the plane. I was walking Alisha around the airport to keep her busy and we almost missed the bus.
The delay was long and hard on all of us but Alisha did GREAT! We were so proud of her. She spent a lot of time in her snugglie and I did a ton of laps around the airport. Jerry tried to get her to sleep for a nap but all she took was a half hour power nap. She did another power nap on the plane, but our little girl wants to check it all out. She doesn't miss a thing. That being said, she was good on the plane. We are hoping that she will continue to be a good traveler as we still have our marathon flight home with her on Wednesday.
We finally got checked in to the White Swan Hotel around 9:30. We thought she would go straight to sleep, but she had other ideas and it was play time. Finally around 11 she fell asleep and Jerry and I did too.
We have her medical exam this morning and then we will check out the hotel and town. We decided to do our own thing today instead of scheduling anything, so we can try and get Alisha back on her schedule.

Great news – Sounds like Alisha is really bonding. She certainly coped well at the airport and turned out to be a good traveler.
Hope you have settled in at the hotel, warmed up, and gotten to see some of the city.
Couple more days and home sweet home – How wonderful.
Miss you all.
XOXOXO

Alisha is just beautiful and I am so happy for the two of you. I am looking forward to seeing her jump the waves at the beach next summer.
Lots of hugs and kisses.

As you can see, I just showed my mom the blog site. It was so much fun. I think you will never want to be even near a plane by the time you get home. Sounds like Alisha is doing great. I can't wait to to see her. Looking forward to tommorw's edition! Love ya.
