The time is noon here in Charlotte, so that makes it midnight in Putian. Isaac should be in bed right now, hopefully sleeping soundly. His orphanage is in the city of Putian, a coastal city of 3 million people across the bay from Taiwan. Putian is a busy harbor for exporting China's manufactured goods. She is also a major shoe manufacturing city.
Since Putian does not have an airport, we will actually fly into Beijng and then to Fuzhou. Fuzhou has a population of 11 million and more importantly for us, an airport! Fuzhou is about 70km north of Putian. The orphanage will actually bring Isaac to us in Fuzhou. We will remain there for about a week and then fly down to Guangzhou for a week of paperwork. Guangzhou is a large city across the bay from Hong Kong and happens to have the US Embassy. From there we fly to Hong Kong and home to Marvin, NC!
Of course all of this doesn't begin for a few weeks. The man in me wants to plan the route - the daddy in me wants to pick up my sleeping child and just rock for a while.
