On the move...

Heather is doing great sending me pictures of everything that they are seeing. These are from their hotel room in Hong Kong. Their hotel is attached to the airport.






These Taxis are waiting out in front of the airport.


These pictures are from the trolly that took them to get on the plane for the next leg of their journey. The had to travel to Chongqing which is the province that Maddie Jane is in.


and they are off...

They landed safely! They will stay here until Friday. These are some pictures as they are traveling to their hotel. Heather said the driver took them through the rural part of the city. She said it was very humbling and lots of people were living in make-shift houses. So sad!



 They finally arrived at their hotel. It is very nice! They will stay here until Friday.


Here is Maddie Jane's bed - all ready for her!
It is almost GOTCHA day!

With the time difference, they will actually be getting her tonight (our time) which is Monday around 1:30 pm China time. I'm not sure if I will get pictures tonight before we go to bed or not. I will post as soon as I can!

Day 1 and 2: Travel

Todd and Heather went to Birmingham Thursday night to make sure there were no ice delays Friday morning.  We heard from them as they were boarding the connecting flight in Dallas. This flight is around 14 hours.




Finally on board!

We got a call this morning around 7:30. Todd and Heather arrived safely! They were headed to bed. They had been up since 3:00 am Friday. The flight was long but will be worth it in the end!
