Lucie, Annie, Madison, and Zoe, the fabulous "Phu Tho Four", finally got their Visas today!!!!! A year later and a few months lost in an orphanage, but the misery is already beginning to fade into a memory. It feels a bit surreal. I was just looking at the little book of pictures that got me through the past year and then I went and kissed my sleeping baby....amazing to think we are here in this place, getting ready to come home.
The dilemma of the day is when to leave...I found out tonight (it is now 10:10pm Fri) that we can fly home on Sunday (12noon). They cant promise me the "deluxe" class (very mini upgrade (poor woman;s business class) that I planned for to save on the expense of a ticket for Lucie). And it is only 36 hours away. It also nixes my plans to go to beautiful Halong Bay. HOWEVER, Friday feels like forever away. I wish I could spend the week and enjoy vacationing, but it is hard to imagine it feeling like a vacation, trying to continue to entertain and contain my ever-blossoming daughter in a small hotel room and resaurants...I will see if my travel agent can pull any rabbits out of his hat by tomorrow am.
I cant wait to show Lucie off to everyone back home!!

Well we are all waiting to be introduced and are sending love and energy for a peaceful flight. You are my hero-Namaste-Barbara
We were ready for home too...everyone is...somtimes I'm nostalglic for more of VN but at the time it was more about my baby..I keep telling myself we'll go back, see the sights we missed, I truly believe we will. But at the end of the day, most importantly, it was about our baby. Bring your daughter home!
