Arrived in Danang

After 35 hours of traveling, we have arrived in DaNang.  We are exhausted.  We will go to the orphange to meet Lana in about 5 hours.  We are going to try to sleep, although we just had some of the best coffee on the planet (two cups each), so, that may not be possible.  (No, Stace, it was not the monkey-poop coffee!!)
 
Love,
Gretchen

I just got back from a hockey game and saw that you made it there safely! Roger and I have been calculating where we thought you were all during the day today. I am sure you are exhausted but I don't think I'd be able to sleep (even without coffee) knowing it is only a few short hours until you get to meet Lana! You are in my thoughts and prayers! Your office is still in great shape after day one, I am going to make sure you can still see your desk when you get back! I'll be checking every day to see any new news!!!

What a trip!

During the Vietnam War it took me two weeks from Tacoma, Washington, on a the troop ship, USS Patch.

You will probably have met Lana by now.

All joy be your first moments together.
