Jerri and Grace are halfway to Los Angeles on the first leg of their journey to China. After a couple of hours in LA they'll be boarding their flight to Hong Kong - 14 straight hours. We're all so excited!!
If you read Jerri's last post you'll know she couldn't decide whether to sleep or to pack. I'm not sure what she did, but I do know those suitcases were empty this morning. ;) However, she was remarkably calm and in control. (she'll really appreciate me saying all this) I made it my job to make sure she had their passports and money. Anything else was gravy.
After dropping off Nina and Ollie at Petropolitan - a very cool doggie daycare and boarding facility downtown, we all hopped in the super van and took off to the airport. These two had MEGA baggage! Naturally they were taking lots of stuff to donate to the orphanage so they had three bags to check plus two rollie bags, two backpacks, and one purse. One of the bags weighed 64 lbs! Ouch! The people at American Airlines were so kind. After hearing us talk about where they were going and what the bag contained, they didn't charge Jerri for the overage. Nice people!
So, now we're in wait mode. They'll call us from LA and then start that long trip over the water while we sleep. We know they'll be carried safely on the wings of many prayers.
One day closer to Annabel. :)
