Well, tomorrow we fly out to China. It's a little chaotic tonight, getting everything packed into the 5 suitcases among us, each only being able to weigh 44 pounds. But we're managing. We fly from the Pheonix airport tomorrow at 4:30 and will arrive at Los Angelos at about 6:00. Then we have a 6 hour layover at the airport before we leave for China at about 12. We will arive at Guangzhou at 6:50 a.m their time [3:50 p.m. Arizona time, 6:50 p.m. Kentucky time.]. Then we fly out at 10:00 a.m. for Beijing, and arrive at about 12:55 p.m. Yes, that is a lot of traveling we have to do. About 27 1/2 hours total. So we a stocking up on books, games, and really anything we can pass the time with. Well, I have to go and put the finishing touches on packing. I'll keep you posted! Here's a picture of our little travel group.

Your friends in Tucson are thinking of you all.
Next weekend we're headed to Alb, NM to the USDAA trial we all attended last year. I'll look at the moon next Saturday night in NM knowing it's the same one you'll see.

I am a friend of Kays and pray for your safe return. The opportunity you give to this child is awsome. Thank God for people who love children so much, because where would we be without you. Anne
