We've Arrived!


We made it to Vietnam! We arrived at the hotel on Friday at around midnight Vietnam time. Zach was a real trooper on the very long trip. He did very well on all 3 flights and with all of the waiting time in between. The personal entertainment systems on the 14 hour flight really helped. I was hoping he would do most of his homework on that leg of the trip, but he was only interested in playing games on the system.

We breezed through immigration and customs without any problems and all of our bags arrived. Unfortunately, one of the zippers got broken so now we are trying to hold it together with duct tape.

Today we will be visiting Zach's orphanage in the afternoon and hanging out by the pool. He has made friends with many of the kids on the trip already.

On Sunday we head to the airport at 6am to catch our flight to Kien Giang. It is a short flight and we will spend the rest of the day sorting donations. The construction work starts on Monday.
