Travel Group

Paul and I consider ourselves fortunate to be travelling to China with a group of other families on their own adoption journeys -- to share such special experiences.

We had the opportunity to meet our travel group last weekend. Thanks to Leanne, who organized the dinner at the Mandarin, we were able to get to know most of the families we will be heading to China with....

Paul

Joad & Leanne - Jennie, who will turn 2 shortly after our trip to China

Mike & Tracey  - see below

Maureen, Andy (had to work), & Kylie - Asia, 16 months old

Jennifer, Mia, Amelie, & Scott

Gabrielle, who just turned 2

Mia & Amelie

Remington (Remi) -- Mike & Tracey's daughter

Maxwell, who will turn 5 while we are in China

Mia and Kylie became fast friends....

These two are so funny together!!

Three of the families that are coming with us couldn't make it to the dinner -- it was just too far for them to travel to for one evening. We are looking forward to meeting them all -- in Beijing!

Leanne and Joad, Jennifer, Scott and the girls will be travelling on the same plane as us. We will meet up with them at the airport in Toronto on June 17th. The others are on an indirect flight and will arrive about an hour later than us in Beijing. We are all on the same return flight. It was wild, when saying goodbye that evening, to say "see you in China!"
