Hello all! Today I traveled from my college town back to my hometown. Tomorrow I will venture to Ohio where my sister lives, and from there we will fly out of Detroit to China. This is not my first international trip. I traveled throughout Europe in the summer of 2007, but this is completely different. That trip was for fun. It was with a group of classmates and highly supervised. This trip...has a determined purpose.

We are going to China to adopt my second niece. It puts a lot more pressure on the entire venture. Also, this trip is not about me. Sure, I get to experience new things and buy tons of cool souvenirs (pearls, silk, and jade!), but the ultimate focus of this adventure is on my sister and the adoption. I'm really just along for the ride. It should prove to be an interesting one. I hope you enjoy reading about it. Now, time for sleep. We're getting up at 4 am to leave for the North!
