Timeline for Travel...Looking Back

I talk to so many people about our experience with World Child International (our adoption agency) and our trip to Vietnam that I thought it would be helpful and less time consuming to post a timeline of what happened when we were there. I will also post the emails/pictures I sent from Vietnam (they will be under the date they were actually sent).
