The Long Journey Home

We have received word our return date has been moved up one day. The VISA has been processed and is on its way to us. We return to Toronto tomorrow (Wed., July 11). We leave Ho Chi Minh City at 11:25am (local time), fly to Hong Kong, where we leave at 4:20pm (again local time). We have a stop in Anchorage, and in a manner of speaking we actually arrive in Anchorage before we leave Hong Kong -- I'll let you figure that one out! From Anchorage, we complete our journey with the final stretch to Toronto, arriving at 9:55pm (local time). All together about 17 hours of flying -- with a little one.

Today, we are taking the opportunity to walk around town, stretch our legs and prepare for the journey ahead. We will probably try to keep Jack awake as much as possible in the hopes he will sleep most of the way home -- one can hope.

Once we have returned, we hope to post some photos of our journey. Be sure to check here later this week.

Fantastic news! We are having the new grandparents over to dinner this evening and a glass will be raised to all of you (well what else can you expect from The Chapel over here in England!).
