We are getting ready to go to Kathmandu. After 9 hours of flying from Dallas to London, a 10 hour layover in London, a 6 hour flight to Bahrain, here we wait another 3 before our next flight. Due to another time change I cannot yet figure out how long our flight will be. We land in Kathmandu 6:30 local time. So far, everything thing has gone well... Flights on time, just a little turbulance, friendly people. It is different being in Bahrain (favorite vacation spot of Michael Jackson). We definitely stick out like a sore thumb. I see no other women dressed in sweats like me. Some burkas, some in robes with heads covered, some in more western style clothes with heads covered and a few with no head coverings. It is interesting being in the minority. We have met some very friendly people along the way so far and everyone wants to know why we are traveling to Nepal. Everyone we have told we are adopting have been very kind and gracious.
Once we land in Kathmandu we have to get our visas and maybe find out about cell phone SIM cards. Then we are off to the hotel. Tomorrow is the BIG DAY. It is the day we meet our new daughter. We are hoping she won't be too afraid of us, but know that she probably will be-especially of Mike. He will certainly tower over most Nepali men and with his redish hair, beard, and size, I am sure will look quite different. We will work it out though. We are looking forward also to meeting our investigators in Nepal.
I hope to have good internet access, but the next time I post, we will have probably met the little sweetie.
