That's right! We're here. We made it to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) safely this morning. Probably even more amazing and a blessing is that all of our checked bags made it as well on all 4 flights so far.
We're at the Park Royal Saigon Hotel tonight and it's been a nice oasis amongst the grueling flights. We stay here tonight and fly to Vinh city tomorrow at 11AM. We land in Vinh about 1:30pm and then will hopefully drive straight to the orphanage, about an hour, and go to get Miss Haven. If all stays according to schedule, her Giving and Receiving Ceremony will be Monday morning at 10AM (which is Sunday night at 10PM CST back in the States). Hopefully we'll have internet there as well and can post. Otherwise it might be a few days until we can get to Hanoi.
Now, we're going to get something to eat and crash. I only slept 1 1/2 hours total during all the flights, so the last nights sleep I had was Wednesday. Mike did a bit better, but we're both still very weary and glad for this night's break in the travels.
Getting very excited,
Shae and Mike
