Back to Ghana

Long story short, our adoption agency won't have an escort ready for a few weeks, and we don't want Grace to have to wait that long to come home. So. Blake and I will be flying out to Ghana sometime next week, together, and be the ones to escort her home. Sorry family members... still no dates yet. :-D I am working on contacting a travel agency that specializes in adoptions because they can get special rates of travel for adoption related things, and are more understanding of our needs (like a lap seat only on the way back). The price for tickets is steep if we just booked normally, and I at least want to give the chance of a discounted rate a try. I checked with my doctor, and I am safe to travel at this stage of pregnancy. Ideally, we will be doing something admittedly crazy, and will be flying out of Ghana the same day we arrive. I.e. leave here day 1, arrive in Ghana day 2, pick up Grace, get her paperwork, go back to the airport, still on day 2, fly out, arrive here day 3. Insane. Perhaps. But it avoids the cost and time of staying in a hotel, and both overseas flights are at night, so perhaps we will sleep. It should be exciting lol! Exciting few days here as I try to finalize travel plans. The prayer request now is that the visa prints with no errors on Friday, so we are totally good to travel.
