Ready to GO!

We are packed!!! Ok, I still need to put in the last minute items like the laptop, toothbrushes, etc, but we are DONE!.  We are going Carry-on-only and still have room to pack!  Our travels will take us from Kunming (where it is eternally Spring), to Nanjing (where the average high this time of year is about 46F), Guangzhou (where the average high is 59F) and to Beijing (where the average high is 30F).  We have packed layers to wear and camp soap to wash stuff out.  We will be buying clothes for GW and TJ to bring home.  We also want room for checked luggage on our return flight for books, snacks and gifts, souveneirs.  If we already have checked luggage, there would be TOO much to handle.  (We have backpacks packed for GW and TJ)

And our tickets showed up today.  It is getting VERY real now that we are leaving for China in just a few short days!!!


And finally, our girls got THEIR bunk beds today.  They have been begging for bunks ever since their brothers got them.  I think SG wanted them more than HJ, because HJ is a total wiggle bug when she sleeps.  In fact, SG had been sleeping on the floor in their room for the last week or so just so she wouldn't be kicked, elbowed and bumped all night.

These are the beds someone gave you??? Wow! They look great!!! I love the photo with your two sweet girls in their new bunk beds!

I am just checking your site for updates. LOVE the luggage photo! Now that makes it seem really real (how is that for proper English :).
