We've heard from Richard,our guide in China, via email several times about hotel details and have requested to meet Sophie's foster grandma. He said he can't promise, but thinks that if we take the 3 hour van ride to Hengfeng we SHOULD get to meet her and her foster sister & foster uncle. I am willing to take the chance. (And use a squatty potty!) I SO want to meet them and let Sophie introduce us to her. We will likely go visit them about 3 days after we've gotten to China and will have spent 3 days getting to know each other. I hope and pray that going back with us and leaving with us will give her even more closure. I realize that it could be harder for her too. I hope we are making the right choice, but it just seems like the right thing to do and to be able to talk with them (through the guide) and maybe learn some more about her and her first 6 years of life.
Tickets are purchased. They ended up to be $67 more per ticket for our 3 round trip tickets. Her one way ticket was the same price as yesterday, but it is only $95 less than our roundtrip tickets. Go figure!
When I get a final itinerary I will post it.
Huge, HUGE smile!!!
ReplyDeleteAbout the squatty potty ... not to bad, but you may want to consider wearing a skirt for that day. ;-)
