Our plans as they stand now, after 12 hours of labor, are to leave on Monday. Flying out on Saturday made our plane tickets $1300 more than leaving on a weekday. We will return home on the following Wednesday with our "Gotcha Day" being on the 19th. This will allow us to spend Valentines weekend as a family with our kids here at home before leaving, and I am going to try to cherish every moment.

Travel plans...to be continued.
Well, I have just spent the last twelve hours on the phone with our travel agency. I am so exhausted I'm sick at my stomach and have a headache. Too many choices to make, with too little time and not enough information. Trying to decided which airline to fly, what day to leave and return, non-stop flight or layover, which hotel to stay in, how much to spend, outskirts or downtown, in a country you've never been to is a little overwhelming. :)

Yipes -- that's a lot of cash to save! Good thing you did some comparison shopping. :o) We were up at 2 and 3 a.m. making arrangements because of the time difference, and literally had hotel rooms disappear between phone calls (it was during and just after the Nov./Dec. holiday season).
Enjoy your family weekend -- that will be some much-cherished time before life changes! I can't wait to see those first pictures of you holding your son!
