Part 2 of 3, travel logistics

We debated this topic quite a bit yesterday. Due to some of the suggested adjustment methods (see part 3) we originally had planned on making it a small welcome party for her on her homecoming day at JFK in NYC. We had hoped it would be Me, Kip, Henry, Holden and my mum, Gammy. Well after lots of thought we have decided that just the two of us are going to go. The flight gets in really late and there is no way to fly or train it back. Due to it being Labor Day weekend, the roads will be insane in and around NYC. So the short story is Kip and I will drive to Logan, fly down JetBlue at 5pm on Friday night into Terminal 6. Gammy will stay here with the boys. Kip and I will pick up a rental car, park closer to Terminal 4, grab dinner and meet the "greeter" Wayne under the big orange question mark at 10pm. We will then be given a large brown envelope with 3 things in it, 1) Bo's up to date medical card, including all her immunization records so they don't have to be repeated here 2) Her schedule as completed by her foster mum, including sleeping, eating, napping, comforts, bath, etc. They are fairly gernous with the information about the baby's routines. 3) A present from her foster mother which will include more pictures of her and her 1st birthday Hanbok. A hanbok is a traditional dress for them to wear on their first birthday to celebrate (more on that topic later) After we review the envleope we will wait on the plane. Since the plane is already in the US, she will have gone through the long customs process in Detroit, so she should be brought our pretty soon after the plane lands. Cecelia told us that there will be one other LTC baby on the flight with another escort. He is going to a family in PA. He is only 3 days younger thatn Bo. We will show ID, sign some forms, and get her to the rented infant seat in the Hertz as fast as we can. Then to avoid a hotel room and traffic we will head straight home, expecting a 4-5 hour drive. An all nighter.... It will be wonderful to arrive home though and introduce the baby to Gammy and the boys. We will be keeping the visitors to a minimum the first 5-15 days, more on that to follow.
