2004 Vietnam Aid Expedition

Thursday, June 10, 2004

VIETNAM at last!

We made it..all of us! We're thrilled and exhausted and even a little stinky ;-)! Some of us had a great night stay in a real bed at the airport hotel in singapore - some of us decided to stay up all night and surf the web and watch 6-year old Emily do cartwheels and back handsprings!

We had an uneventful "walk" through customs - except for me of course. But when I finally agreed with officials and said, "Yes, I'm very very dumb to not know better" they let me through with a stern shake of the finger and warning about next time! Make note - next time y'all travel to Vientam do not pack 100 packs of Polaroid film in suitcase!!!!

All the boxes made it except for one and everyone is safe and sound! We are trying to forge ahead and not sleep this afternoon so that we can get a full night's sleep tonight. We have our team meeting tonight and then tomorrow we're off to do medical check ups for 220+ children! That should take us the whole day for sure!

We're really looking forward to meeting the kids and ready for the "expedition" part of our trip to begin!

Thanks again for all the e-hugs we love them!!! Ta Ta For Now!
Peace,
Caroline
