Arrived and Settled In!!

It's Sat morning here (your Friday night) and we are ready to start the day! The flights were good but of course very long- 13 hours and 8 hours. We quickly got a cab and made it to the hotel just fine. Had a good night sleep and great breakfast this morning. Brian has been trying to get his bearings, and we're getting ready to hit the town! Well, just look around anyway. The hotel is very nice, and the location is going to be convenient. It's close to the train, and there is a little grocery store and outdoor restaurant- like Naan Corner- nearby. We're having many flashbacks of our time in Malaysia!

We're meeting Holt tomorrow 9:45, and Olivia comes at 10:30. We are also scheduled to visit the foster mother's house tomorrow afternoon. I'm very anxious and a little nervous too!

All is well. We're writing this from the business center in the hotel and are trying to figure out the best way to access the computer.

Will blog more later- not sure if later today or tomorrow.

Leah! So happy to see your blog!! I have been checking you and the other ladies constantly!! Just 24 hours to go now! How amazing!
We used the computer in the lobby (laptop), most economical (Free for four hours if you purchase a drink from the little bar there)
Have fun exploring Bangkok, Say Hi to 'Mo' for us if you meet her tomorrow, and enjoy EVERY moment, it goes by so fast. Don't worry about the Foster Family meeting, it is emotional, but wonderful; and it will be nice to see Olivia comfortable in her own settings too.
Thinking of you all, and looking forward to your next post!
Blessings,
Sharon and family (from Holt forum)
