Two more Thursdays!






We are SO excited to get home. We are a bit aprehensive of the trip though. Our travelling (bus, plane, and automobile) will start at 6AM on Thursday March 8th and end at around 8:30PM the same day. So in one way the flight is only 14.5 hours. Unfortunately, at about 8PM on Thursday (1/2 hour before we are supposed to arrive at our house), we will cross the international date line and it will become 8PM on Wednesday again! That's right. In all, from the time we leave the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou, China to the time we walk through the front door to our house in Quantico, it will take about 27.5 hours (subtract 11 for the time change)! Here is our itenerary in Eastern Standard Time:




Leave White Swan: 5PM Wed 7 March


Depart Hong Kong: 11:50 PM


Arrive San Fransisco: 11:33AM Thursday 8 March


Process through US Customs - Olivia becomes a U.S. Citizen


Depart San Fransisco: 2:00PM


Arrive Washington Dulles: 7:01 PM


Introduce Olivia to everyone who shows at the airport 7:15-7:45


Arrive home: 8:30-9:00PM


Go to bed: 9:01PM




We can't wait to see everyone.




For those who are already addicts, here is your Olivia fix.
