Holy cow! We leave tomorrow!

Yes, finally our travel plans are all set!

Flights booked~~~~~check
Hotel booked~~~~~~check
bags packed~~~~~~~check
nerves calm~~~~~~~not so much a check-I've got some butterflies in my tummy!

But I am sooooo ready to go. We leave bright and early in the morning (thanks Starla for the lift to TYS)...with a looooong layover in Newark. I mean loooonggggg-like 12 hours long. But hey, we're going to get Wei-Che so I just don't mind!

Our official Family Day is Monday the 26th. Can you say WOOOOHOOOOO!

We are so very excited! I found myself all day saying "this is the last time I'll be doing this...with one child, without Sammy Wei, as a Mama to just one, without 2 car seats..." I am so stinkin excited!

We will be posting from Taiwan with our handy dandy little netbook so I hope to be able to add photos as the week goes on. I know my Mom & Dad are just so excited to see their first grandson with us as well as the rest of our wonderful families, best friends and all my blog buddies that have been waiting this out with us...I can't wait to share the joy!

So I best get my good little travel mates (Adam & Simone of course) fed and to bed...
tiring work- this making a family of four!

Until I post again.....

I can still remember that night before we left. I kept thinking what am I forgetting. Had trouble sleeping..... If you forget anything you can buy in in Taiwan!
Make sure you take some gallon and quart ziplock bags. Great for diaper changes on the go and to put "stuff in"
