Good bye HCMC - Hello Hanoi






Today we picked up our paperwork from Minh and traveled to Hanoi. Levi did really well on the airplane ride. He actually fell asleep soon after take off and right before landing. Our hotel room here in Hanoi is more like an apartment with a kitchen, diningroom, livingroom, two bedrooms and two bathroom. It also has a washer/dryer combo. We just hung out at the hotel tonight as we were all tired. Tomorrow we will have a free day so we plan to do some sightseeing. Hopefully it will not rain. Scattered thundershowers are in the forecast.

Traveling sure can wear you out, can't it? Glad you are getting some rest. Thankful for you that Levi did well on the flight. Praying he does equally as well on the long trip home. Thankful for you that he is adjusting so far and that things are well for you all. I hope the rest of your trip goes smoothly and that you enjoy every minute.

My girls say Hello and want you to know they think Levi is SOOOOOOOO Cute! They've been checking out your blog with me every day. :)

Love to you.
