planning for the big first meeting

Well we found out last night that the cost for the car to take us to the orphanage to meet the kids is .. well ridiculously high. but we decided we'll do this (like we'd even say no !!!) but will probably only go to visit them the one day. On the bright side it is an all day event! so we'll pack some food for the day, the gifts for the kids of the orphanage and some clothes for our kids. i want to be able to donate any of the clothes that are too small for our kids. so i'm packing all their smallest size clothes and a few of the larger sizes. those of us in our travel group are getting mixed answers as to when the G&R will be. so we expect to have our travel meeting on Monday, and hopefully we'll learn more. it sounds like the current plan is to keep all the families that are flying in on July 8th in Ha Noi for the night, then flying them all down to Da Nang on the morning of the 9th. some folks were told they'd get to meet the kids that day. another family was told they'd actually have the G&R that day. we've only been told the G&R will be on Tuesday, but no word on a visit on Monday... so i suspect a lot of this will be figured out on the fly. I'm just swimming in the fact that we'll have the kids all day on Saturday!!! ALL DAY!!! I know they usually take a long nap during the afternoon, and maybe if it's really hot we'll go back to the car and nap ourselves. but whatever the day gives us, we'll be happy and delighted.
