Jenna's Last Day in China

Well, it has been another quiet day and this will most likely be our last post before we board the plane home. Our bags are packed and everything looks pretty good so we shouldn’t have any troubles at the airport. We did not need to buy another bag, yea!

We took a 45 minute trip to the US Consulate to pick up Jenna’s passport and entrance visa this afternoon. It was pretty non-climatic. We passed through security and entered a large room with about 65 other families and had our passport copies checked to ensure that we were actually present that day. We were then informed that we should NOT open the visa packet, only US immigration should open it when we arrive in the airport. Then we raised our right hand and affirmed that we had given all the correct information to the US consulate and took responsibility for the children in our custody and we were done. We then received Jenna’s passport and visa packet.

Please pray for Jenna to have an uneventful 13 ½ hour flight to the USA. She still fights sleep so we are hoping she doesn’t have a meltdown on the plane ride home. Also pray for my back to hold out, I’ve been feeling a little pain because of the uncomfortable beds in China…they are a bit too firm for my back. I’m still prepared with icy hot patches and ThermaCare wraps so we hope all will be well. Next post will be from the USA, see you then!

PS - Daddy is singing Jenna to sleep tonight with "Hong Kong Fuey", like I said earlier, Daddy likes to sing to Jenna! :)
