Wednesday in Hanoi by Lamar

The Visa arrived today...the Visa arrived today...the Visa arrived today! We are a family...we have the documents to travel along with the documents for US adoption. Jackson did not sleep much last night...I guess he was a little nervous.

We went to the Army museum today...we read a lot about puppet governments and invading forces. There was a lot of US military equipment in the museum. More on that when we get home.

We found Hanoi Stadium and we tried to sneak in, but it would not be opened until 2 o'clock. I will try to go back tomorrow.

We leave on Thursday night at 11:50 Hanoi time. Over 5 hours to Seoul then a 4 hour layover with a 15 hour leg to Atlanta. The immigration stage may take a little while too, so it will be a long day on Friday...but a short day, since we get back to Chattanooga at 12:30.

Congratulations! What a beautiful family! I love, love, love the picture of the three of you at the top of your blog. Wow - that is worthy of blowing up and framing!
Safe travels back HOME!

Best wishes for an enjoyable trip home! If you arrive in Chattanooga at 12:30 and Ringgold is less than 30 minutes from the airport, then we expect to see Jackson before 1:30! Oh yes, Lamar and Elaine, we want to see you, too! Please stop by RMS on your way home!

I'm so happy for you all! Jackson looks so happy and cute! Good luck on your flight home - it will be fine. My baby slept way more than I thought he would & hardly ever cried (even without Benadryl). I hope you have the same luck with your DaNang boy!
