As long as we have internet we will be blogging!!! We have a full itin so there isn't much time for site seeing. Our travel agent is awesome!! Thank you for suggesting him Kristy!! He listened to what I wanted and then made everything work!! Thanks to the 2 free night that we earned when we went to Iowa, we are even a little under budget!! Thats always nice! Sign up for every free travel rewards card that you can... you never know where it'll take you. Most airlines and hotel chains have them. We earned 2 free nights at the Inter Continental- Nehru Place (5 star rating) for staying at a Holiday Inn Express in Iowa last spring through Priority Club!! The 2 hotels are like night and day!! :) Doing another check of everything today so I can relax and enjoy tomorrow with my boys!!

Maggie, I am so happy for you guys. I will be stalking every day. We stayed at Nehru place last December when we picked-up Dreyden and absolutely LOVED it!!!! We've never felt so pampered! I wish I'd have remembered the driver we had from the hotel. He was great and even took us sight-seeing.
This is so exciting to see your travel plans all confirmed. I am happy that you will still be able to visit your Compassion child. That is SO special. Have a great trip and I will be watching your blog for updates.

I'm so excited for you -- and a little jealous that you're getting to meet some other Dillon moms while you're in India! :o) Have a wonderful time. I can't wait to hear about your Compassion visit, volunteering -- and most of all, the moment when you meet Pala for the first time.
God bless you as you travel!
