Travel Dates!!!!

We will leave Michigan (we will be dropping Elliana and Andy off at the grandparents) on Friday, June 18!  We will eventually arrive in Taitung sometime on Saturday evening/night.  Hopefully we will get Micah that night, if not, then on Sunday.  We really want to go to church there and see where Micah has been going the past 5 months:)  I think that Luke, the pastor, may still be in China, but I cannot remember what dates he will be traveling. 
To make is easier to follow:

Friday: leave the USA
Saturday: arrive in Taipei and fly to Taitung
Sunday: church, if possible
Monday: go to house of registry and finish adoption paperwork
Tuesday: travel back to Taipei
Wednesday: AIT visa appointment, and meet with birthmom
Thursday: free day
Friday: free day and pick of visa if ready
Saturday:  leave Taipei and return to Detroit
Sunday: return to Cincinnati

It has been a pretty crazy day figuring it all and booking the tickets.  We still have to decided on hotels tonight:)  But Chris is still getting cleaned up from playing beach volleyball.  He just started on a league.  I took the kids to watch and watch a friend's kids while they all played.  While there, I noticed a family that looked familiar to me.  I asked the mom where she was from and if she had a blog.  I have been reading her blog for almost a year now!  They adopted from Taiwan last year.  How neat it was to see her and see their precious little girl!!  It was just the energy booster I needed since I was ready to fall asleep putting Elliana to bed.  Well, we better get to figuring out where to stay in just a week and a half.
