Count down to China begins!


The count down to Matthew begins. We leave in just 10 days! The anxiety has started to set in. Our first flight is 15 1/2 hours. We will fly to Beijing where China medical officials will board the plane and take the temperature of everyone on board to detect for swine flu signs. Should there be even a slightly elevated temp. you will be taken by ambulance to quarantine. Which could also mean being separated from those you are traveling with. And Yes, it has happened to a fellow blogger in the adoption process. If someone on the flight is taken to quarantine, then 3 rows in front and behind this person will have to be monitored by China officials. If the person taken to quarantine tests positive, then those 6 rows of people will have to be swab tested and could face quarantine after you've been there several days. This process will happen again after we fly to Shanghai where Matthew is waiting for us. We have a total of 5 flights...UGH....Need I say more!
