Here we go!

I don't think I slept more than an hour total last night! Emotions are running high with all in our group as well as our close families and friends. All the well wishes, encouragement and prayers has me feeling like the most blessed woman on the planet. I can't thank you all enough. We are getting ready to board and off to San Francisco. Next stop, Beijing. My sweet parents were at my house at 4:30 with smiles on their faces. Dad teased us all the way to the airport that he brought extra bags for when they weighed our suitcases and we had to start yanking stuff out. We all came in under weight! Ha!
