Almost Ready

Just packing. Seems like it is easier than when going to get a baby, but still not much fun. All those "just in case" items - antibiotics, Immodium, rain gear, gifts for translators & officials, etc. At least the weather is all one temperature - consistently HOT across all areas we will be going to, with some monsoon like rains in Chengdu.

The girls are most looking forward to seeing the Great Wall & the pandas. Lily's goal is to walk the length of the Great Wall - she doesn't quite comorehend that 2000 miles might be a little far for her. And Christine is looking forward to playing with babies in the orphanage where we will be volunteering our first day in Beijing. We will not actually be goin inside her orphanage in Juijiang because of an outbreak of the swine flu.

So, more from China after we survive the lovely, never ending plane trip.
