We are in the beautiful Shangri La Hotel in sunny, freezing Dalian. The kids are playing wii and Damon and I are exhausted.....but we are here! I hear it is snowing AGAIN in Portland, and I am glad we got out when we did.Everything at LAX was smooth and Auntie Nori met us there to entertain Nicole and Tre.
This picture is in Seoul where the airport is pristine (and thankfully very empty)!
We got to Dalian a few hours ago and were greeted with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and five people to help us. We feel so blessed that everything went well. Nicole and Trejan were troopers in the 23 hours of travel time.
Here we are at PDX with 11 boxes, two suitcases and two car seats plus carry on luggage.
Some other funny packing pictures.....weighing the luggage so the $350 excess weight fee is not charged to our extra pieces.
This is what our shipment to China looked like packed (minus the couch, which I would have loved to have added, but it wouldn't fit in the crate)
Over the counter meds....

Hi from the Barrs! We are so glad you made it safely! You look so relaxed and happy in the Shangri-la (not exhausted or frazzled at all). Looks like it was a good trip (greeted with flowers, even). Thanks for the pictures of everything.
Hey Yukiko and family,
Glad you made it safely. Take care, Jill and family.
Hi Yukiko. I just decided to look up your blog and see where you were in the process. I'm glad to hear you made it there. I will pray for you and your family as the adjustment process begins.
