What's a Kammuri?

Just the name of a little tropical storm about to hit Hong Kong and affect Guangzhou right before we arrive. You know, why not throw a little scare into us about travel delays. But judging by the forecast it should pass south and west of Guangzhou by the time we fly in. Hopefully we will dodge the bullet on this one.

Packing is the theme at this point. We need to pack for eight people – of course for Angie and I, Aidan’s clothes and some books and toys (and portable DVD player. He will learn to love Thomas the Tank Engine), Alex’s gear for his two week stay at Grandma’s, and gifts for foster family, orphanage director, and orphanage staff. We are very tired of packing and unpacking, if you know what we mean ;-) More on that later.

So to show the Olympic spirit, we are ready to sprint through airports, lift heavy bags (and toddler), sail through more paperwork, wrestle with more packing, and hang a gold medal around Aidan’s neck. Tomorrow we triple-jump all the way to China…
