Travel Information



I thought I would post our travel information, since I have had so many people ask me where we will be when. Thanks so much for all the emails, we appreciate it. We have met so many wonderful people along this journey. If anyone reads this who has gone to China and has any advice on what or what not to do, please feel free to email me. There is nothing like hearing from people who have "been there done that".

Hi Heidi,
I just "found" your blog from your RQ post. Aiden is so cute! We will be meeting our daughter on 9/1 and will arrive at the Victory on 9/5 (late). Maybe we will see you there. Wishing you safe travels!
