Hi there friends!
Here we are in another snowstorm (uggghhhh!!) and hoping and praying that it won't be like this in two weeks!! At this time two weeks from now, I'm hoping we'll all be in bed with bags packed and by the door. Hopefully, I'm not dreaming in technicolour;-)
We have now received our Robeez donation - 25 pairs of little leather slippers for the orphanage. What a great program they have, through which they have donated many pairs to the orphanages in China, and for that we are very thankful.
We received our final itinerary and it looks like we are going to be visiting some interesting places in Shanghai, and we are hoping that we will be traveling by boat on the Yangtze River from Hannah's birth city to Wuhan in Hubei province. Of course, one person reminded me today that China's safety standards are not the same as ours and to make sure I knew where the life jackets on the boat were!!! But this is coming from a person who went up the Lushan Mountains and said it was no problem on a one lane road for two-way traffic!!!??? So my point, it's all a matter of perspective and I'm not going to stress about it....too much;-)
The girls are getting very excited and starting to think about what they might take with them. Poor Stephanie was disappointed that her entire collection of Webkinz could not come with us, and how could she only take one??? Hannah received some great "traveling stuff" for her birthday - sketch pads, pens, videos, books - so she's got the essentials for keeping busy on the long flight.
We look forward to sharing our journey with all of you. Until next time,
Jane

I'd check for those lifejackets...At least on the lushan mountains, a person could have jumped out the door and landed on dry ground ; )
Besides - one lane/two lane traffic, much the same a single bed/double bed, it all means the same thing
: ))
