After traveling 20,000 miles, we get stuck in Newark, NJ for the night. I felt like Steve Martin in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles at the ticket counter trying to get another flight. Trish had a 30 minute meltdown were she was crying, but unbelievably, I didn't blow a gasket at the ticket lady. I think I was too tired. The jetlag is catching up with me once again.....I'm up at 2:45am posting on the blog. For the first time, we were able to read everyone's comments on our site. For some reason, China blocks this type of site - I could post, but not access it. It was nice to see so many family and friends interested in our journey. We will be leaving the hotel bright and early this morning to make sure we get this flight. The disappointment last night was almost unbearable. So, from a crappy Holiday Inn in Newark, I will sign off. Beware if you plan on meeting us at the airport, we will be wearing smelly, dirty clothes, and we threw our toothbrushes away in China.
About Us
Hello! We are Bob and Trish Akers from Indiana. We are in the process of adopting a daughter, Emmaline Catherine, from China. We have a log in date of December 8, 2005, and are hoping to get our "referral" in November 2007. It's been a long journey, but we are so excited to be this close! ****************************************************************** Update: We have obviously adopted our daughter, so this is now the Akers Family website. We will periodically be posting pictures of our family and newest adventures.
