Surprise!

We are NOT in Hanoi. No, that is not a very fun surprise is it? I didn't think so either. First thing this morning we went to the airline office and booked our flights out at 6 PM. We got all packed up and checked out of our nice hotel and were waiting for the passport office to call and tell us to come and pick them up.

And we waited and waited and waited. No call. Finally, they called Henry and told him that the computers had been down and the passports would not be ready.

Yes, it is true. The computer is not our friend.

We are now staying in the second worse hotel room I have ever stayed at in my life. (The first was one in Traverse City on our 1st wedding anniversary when we were really, really broke. Even more broke than after two international adoptions.) Anyway, we are supposed to be able to get the passports in the morning and then get up to Hanoi in the afternoon.

One silver lining: The beds in this room are actually soft. Which probably just means the bugs enjoy them more. Which makes it not a silver lining at all.

I don't know what this will do to our return date. We had hoped to come home early, but now that is probably out of the question. Please pray that things go much quicker in Hanoi! I probably won't be able to post till tomorrow evening at the earliest.
