Elaine and I spent over an hour on the telephone tonight with Dick Graham from the IAAP (our adoption agency). He covered our entire schedule, plus sightseeing tips, cultural ques, etc. Elaine took 3 pages of notes. One of the main things that he shared is that we will be arriving in Da Nang on Sunday evening and that we would be able to go to the orphanage that night. There is an outside chance that we may be able to take him to the hotel on Sunday. Monday will be the G and R ceremony, so we will take him with us that day for sure. We talked to him using Skype on our computer...the 21st century is great!
People ask me how we feel...kind of numb at this point, but very excited...by the way did I say very excited. At this point, we are planning on contacting our families at 8 pm. There may be some days that we will not be able to, but our goal will be 8 pm. 8pm here is 8am there.

Like everyone, I'm very excited for you all. This is much better than any reality TV show! Lamar, I'm impressed with your technical genius of blogging & Skype'ing.
I left you both a message on your cell phones to give you a send off this Friday morning... I'm sure you may not receive it until you return as I doubt your brought your cell phones on this trip.
