Packing frenzy

We leave tomorrow morning at 3:30am for the grueling trip to China. Our flight departs from Logan at 6:00am and goes to San Francisco. We'll have a 3 hour layover before making the long leg to Hong Kong. We arrive in Hong Kong at 6:00pm. Yup, it's over 24 hours from start to finish. Both girls are already fast asleep, and I am finishing up the last of the packing frenzy!
We ended up with 4 bags to check. Three large, rolling bags and one small suitcase. There is actually very little for us in the suitcases. Thanks to the generosity of so many people, we have lots of resources, medicines, skin creams, and toys for the orphans. It was actually quite overwhelming to see everything in the suitcases and think about the love and support of everyone which went into filling them. I am one very lucky person.
The bags are now all under 50 lbs, which means that I shouldn't break my back trying to grab them off the carosel :)
So tomorrow we will head off!
