Sorry for this final update taking so long to get posted. The time shift has been a little hard on us all.

Cindy and I want to thank all that have been following our journey to Abigail, and look forward to seeing everyone as soon as we can.

The flights home were very long. Abigail watched a little TV on the way home, sound included. She slept about half of the flight from Hong Kong to LA and we entertained her the rest of the way.

Due to bad weather in Hong Kong, we missed out connecting flight in LA. While this meant a 7 hour layover in LAX, it also meant a direct flight home.

After getting Abigail's passport stamped by Customs in LA, Abigail is now a US citizen! Yeah, Yeah!!!!!!

The layover in LA actually allowed us all to get cleaned up a little. This was very nice because we could now use the tap water to brush our teeth instead of bottled or previously boiled water.

By the time that we finally were in Orlando, we had been traveling for about 38 hours.

We were met by Cindy's parents in Orlando. We think that they were happier to finally met Abigail than they were to see us. It was very nice to be home, with family around.

My brother Don, and his wife Amy stopped by the day after we got home to meet Abigail. Not to differ with my brother's comments, but Amy is very good with babies! My parents are currently in Alaska, and will be back shortly for their first visit with Abigail.
