Longest Flight Ever!

Ok...for ME it was the longest flight ever. I left my house at 6:30am on Friday, and we arrived in Hong Kong at 6:30pm Saturday night! Yes there is a 12 hour time difference, but that was still a 24 hr trip! I saw 2 sunsets and 1 sunrise during our long flight, and it never got completely dark. Our flight path took us north from New York over Canada and the Arctic then down over Russia and china until we reached HK. Sonia was a trooper desire her strong dislike of flying, but I still couldn't get her to look at cool things like the cracks in the arctic ice, or the snow covered mountains in Siberia. The sunset definitely took the cake though! I wish my pictures did it justice. Off to bed now. I think I am so tired that jet lag will not be an issue. Hopefully anyway!

Only 2 more sleeps for Mycah before his little world gets rocked. Please continue to pray for him.

    You made it!!! It is a looooong flight. It's amazing to see all that below you, and be reminded of how small we are and how BIG God is! He's got all the details of the next few days...and years under control! Cannot wait to hear more from you! Prayers and hugs! Almost there...

    Praying for you & your Mycah! Love the pics so much - gives me a peace about flying as we are heading to China later this year to bring home our daughter Selah. :) Thanks for sharing your story, I've linked to your post today as we live "vicariously & virtually" through other adoptive families for now. Soon to be ONE LESS ORPHAN in this world, Praise God! Blessings, Wendy

    So excited to see another Qingyuan child find a forever home. Hate to break it to you but the flight home might be your longest flight ever...I equate the experience to my natural labor and deliveries for my bio kids. I'm praying you have a better time! Prayers going up for the rest of your trip and for sweet Mycah.

    Blessings,
    Lynne (mom to Joni a fomer Qingyuan resident)
