3 more sleeps!

I say 3 more sleeps but chances are there will be little sleeping on Thursday night so perhaps it is better to say 2 more sleeps :) We leave Ottawa Friday morning at 6am and arrive in Hanoi at 6pm local time Saturday evening. So gate to gate it will be 25 hours of travelling barring any unforeseen delays. We decided that to make our long haul flight more comfortable we would pay a little extra to get the emergency door seats with the extra leg room. The last time we flew Cathay Pacific we practically needed the jaws of life to extricate ourselves from the seats when we arrived in Hong Kong. So a little money goes a long way in this case, especially when you are tall like us!

We have a 2 hour stop in Toronto and a 4 hour stop in Hong Kong. Hong Kong airport is awesome and like a little city so I don't mind hanging out there for a few hours. The shopping opportunities are always a little tempting though. We still don't have a date for the G&R but we hope we'll still be able to get down to the orphanage to see him. So now we are in the last mad rush to make sure we have everything and that everything at home is taken care of. I think we're pretty much there other than gifts for the director of the orphanage and our agency rep. If anybody who has gone before has any suggestions please feel free to post :)
