We got our info for tomorrow. There are 5 families (3 of us are here already). We will be going with the Speros and the Humphreys tomorrow at 9AM to get our babies. It is approx a 4 hour outing. The Aime's baby is at a different orphanage. Their baby will be brought to the hotel tomorrow morning and they will visit the orphanage later. The Merchant's baby is in foster care and will also be brought to the hotel. Cherie was here earlier (PLAN family liason). She said that while the BaVi babies are well fed, they all have rashes. I'll let the rest of the PLAN folks with babies at Bavi know what Cherie diagnoses so you can make sure you bring the meds.
We had a great lunch at the Kiti- spring rolls, fried rice, ginger chicken. We had italian at Pane e vino for dinner- just pasta as we needed a change in diet- stomach is a little gurgly after the change in diet and lack of sleep.
We got a Sim card for the cell phone and are waiting for it to ring so we can talk to John. I found an embroidered bag and a present for my parents (can't tell-it's a surprise)that I want to go back and buy later this week. We have also started looking for a piece of artwork-we always buy a piece of art from each country we visit- not sure what we want to get yet.
The G&R ceremonies for all 5 families are not until Tuesday (where we do the official paperwork to adopt). I am not sure whether to bring the fancy dress I brought to the orphanage to make the nannies happy or to wait until the G&R. I actually have 2 nice dresses, but I'm not sure that I want to dress her all up just for a 2 hour bumpy van ride back to Hanoi.
