I am told that the year is 2009, and people aren't supposed to go to the other side of the world without setting up a blog. So, here goes!
We have less than three weeks until we leave. We will be traveling with Our Chinese Daughters Foundation, OCDF, and three other adoptive families. The kids will have workbooks to go through during the bus rides, and the tour is really focused on instilling confidence and pride in the children's heritage.
We start in Beijing, visiting the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, flying kites in Tienamin Square, and such. Next we will take a sleeper train to Xian, home of the Teracotta Warriors. Our last stop is in Chengdu, the area that was hit so hard in the earthquake last year. This is the part Kinsey is most excited about, because all of the kids get to touch or hold a toddler panda. We fly back to Beijing for one night, then begin the long journey home.
We are all really getting excited about the trip, even Jesse, in spite of the fact that this will delay her getting her driver's license. She will turn 16 on the 4th day in China. As soon as she can keep her eyes open for a few hours straight, she will be at the testing center.
For you experienced bloggers, feel free to pass along any advice on what I'm supposed to do with this thing. Maybe while we are in China, the kids can do the blogging.
