Waiting in Chicago (July 17 email)

We arrived safe and sound at O'Hare at 0800, and now have a 5 hour layover until the nearly 14 hour flight to Beijing. We both got only a couple hours sleep last night, so we're hoping to catch some z's on this next leg.

We were pleasantly surprised to find out at the airport baggage checkin that the combined weight of our 3 checked bags was only 66 pounds! Much less than we thought. Perhaps this leaves room for more souvenirs on our return.

We are traveling with another couple who are from South Carolina, and are supposed to meet up with them in a couple hours when their flight arrives. They are adopting an 18 month old girl who is part of Hope Project 2.

Lots of emotions for both Angie and I as the time to meet Cameron for thee first time draws closer. We are quite excited. We will likely have met him by the time we email y'all for the first time from Beijing.
