Ok, only 97 hours until we leave for the airport and I am totally freaking out!!!! "Excited" does not even come close to describing how we are feeling right now!!! I honestly have no idea how I am supposed to get any sleep between now and then. By this time next week, Abigail will be in our arms. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggghhhh! I don't know exactly how to describe the energy in our household...I guess very excited plus a little nervous and a touch of paranoia (about what, we don't exactly know). I think we just really want everything to go smoothly. We have to be so diligent to make sure that we bring every last form that is needed in China plus necessary copies. I am just so afraid of forgetting something.

Anyway, on a positive note...here is our official travel itinerary:

May 1- Thurs- Departure- The beginning of our journey, although, technically we will
be leaving for the airport in the middle of the night on Wednesday night

May 2- Fri- Arrive in Beijing and go to our hotel, meet up with adoption travel group

May 5- Mon- Nanchang/ Meet your child! Yaaaaaaaaay!!!!!! Registration, adoption

May 6- Tues- Notary

May 7- Wed- Sightseeing/ waiting for paperwork to be processed

May 8- Thurs- Rest/ Sightseeing/ waiting for paperwork to be processed
