Hello from Taipei!

Hi, All!
We made it to Taipei and are just waiting to board our flight to Saigon--We are at the Hello K*tty gate-it is pretty adorable. Hello Ki*tty everywhere and complete with a store and a playground. This is the first airport we have found a good internet connection. We are doing well--our flight was very long, but the service was great and coach wasn't too terrible! That is about as long as I ever want to stay on a plane, though! We are still wondering how it will be with a baby on our laps though--very different, I'm sure. I don't think any of this has quite fully set in yet--I think it is beginning to......We are with most of our travel group, so that is really nice. Well, better get back to the Hello K*tty gate and get ready to board for our last flight for the day! We are almost there! One more three hour flight and we land in the long awaited Vietnam....Till then, love to all!

I'm SO excited for you! I know what it's like trying to get ready to leave on short notice. I had two days! It's amazing what you can get done in a short period of time when you're properly motivated, huh? :o)

Glad your flight was fine, although very long. I'll check your blog often for updates. Can't wait to hear Buttercup is forever in your arms. Looking forward to lots of photos, too!

Couldn't wait to get this post! So excited you are safe and almost there. The "furry babies" are fine but miss you...they "talk" to me nonstop. They love M's room! Can't wait for the next post. We love you and love being able to follow your journey. Can't wait 'til I see M's little face on the screen in the loving arms of her mommy and daddy.

We love you, Mimi and PJ

I can't believe you guys are on your way! I got goosebumps when I found out you were leaving like THE NEXT DAY! I just learned of your blog (I'm sure you're a better blogger than I am). I'm thinking of you both and sending nothing but the best thoughts and prayers your way for a safe and speedy return!

Cindi said...

Hey Duff and Matt,
I was hoping that this would be updated and I'd see that you now have Marin. I'm hopeing that everything has just been happening so fast that you haven't had a chance to write. Can't wait to hear all the details. Here in Raleighwood, our new little one has been taken off his oxygen which is great. We still don't know when he can come home. Can't wait for both of our babies to meet each other! Cindi
