Our Last Day in Hanoi

We cannot believe that it is almost time for us to head home! This morning, we spent a lot of time packing. We think we have it all together. We are leaving the hotel at about 3:30 to head over to the US Embassy to pick up Isaac's passport with visa. After that, we will take a taxi over to the shop where we had our traditional Vietnamese clothing made. There are just a few other things we want to pick up after that. We think we can find them in the shops near the clothing one. Then, it is back to the hotel to finish putting our bags in order.
We checked with guest relations yesterday about getting a ride to the airport. They are providing us with a 7 passenger car to accomodate us and our luggage. (My goal in the future is to learn to pack lightly.) It is to cost $20, but I hope it will be well worth it.
At the airport, we will check in, go through security, and find our gate. Then, we'll wait until time to board,
Isaac is taking a nap right now. I am hoping he will be able to stay happily awake until we can get on the plane from Hanoi to Seoul at 1:05am (12:05 pm your time on Friday afternoon.). It is about a 4-5 hour flight. Our flight from Seoul to Atlanta is about 13 hours. We have a few tricks left that he hasn't seen yet, but I don't know how it is going to be entertaining him all that time. He likes to be up and moving around. Marty did get him several videos in Vietnamese yesterday that we can play on our laptop on the plane. He really seemed to enjoy the ones they previewed last night. None of our layovers are very long, but hopefully it will be enough time for him to stretch his legs and work out some energy.
Please continue to pray for us. You all have helped us get through this far. We will update as soon as we can. Can't wait to post pictures of our homecoming in Charlotte. Be prepared, we won't look like our usual super model selves. :) We love you all. You know what to do.

We will be seeing you soon and oh how the tears will be flowing in Charlotte and the shouts of joy will be heard in Albemarle. Congradulations on an early arrival home. I ate lunch with AC on Thursday and she is SOOOO excited about Saturday, she was doing really well and I enjoyed giving her some love from the both of you. Please have safe travels as I know you will, and we can't wait for you to be home!!!! Love -Charm
