It's here!!  The day we have waited for/dreamed about & wanted for so long is finally here!  Caylee and I couldn't sleep last night.  She probably conked out after 11:00.  We were awake around 3am because we were supposed to leave for the airport at 4:00.  Our flight that was supposed to leave at 6:10 was delayed until 9:40.  We went back sleep until 6:00.  The thing about going back to sleep w/naturally curly hair is that you wake up with HUGE hair.  haha!  We all needed that laugh at 6am.

Getting to the airport, we had to check in electronically.  I know I need to get with the times but I want human interaction!  I want to know that the buttons I'm pushing are the right buttons & that I am not setting off some secret security code.  Plus I needed someone to smile at me.  :)  Thankfully someone came over to check our luggage and told me I was pushing all the right buttons.  Caylee was asking a lot of questions every step of the way.  A LOT!  I was trying to focus on what to put in what bin and she wanted to know why some people were going in one line and some had to go through the line with the full body scanner.  Speaking of which, Randy and Caylee got to go through the regular line but I got pulled out to go into the full body scanner machine.  I think it was my big hair.  Me in that machine would've made for a great picture later but I am oh so glad that Randy didn't take one.  I am not my humorous self at 7am.  

The rest of the time waiting was pretty uneventful, we watched a man ride up the luggage escalator.  Caylee thought that was funny.  The flight left at 9:40 and the airplane was kind of empty; no more than 50 people.  Lots of passengers had to rebook because of the flight delays.

These past few days in getting ready to go have been very stressful.  Trying to finish up the auction, buying last minute items, making copies of this and that, checking and double checking that we have all of our paperwork, cleaning (ok..Randy's mom did most of that), laundry..whew!  It's been tiring!  BUT now that we are on this flight, we can give a collective sigh of relief because we are ON OUR WAY!  When Randy's parents took us to the hotel in Baltimore last night, I asked them if there is anything they wanted from China.  His dad said, "The girl!"  Yup...that about sums it up!!
