The good part was that there were a lot less people there so there was vertually no ride line ups. I left Nathanh and Ewrin at the Buzz Light Year ride while I went to Mystic Manor and the run away train ride. Then Erwin went and did those while Nathanh and I stayed dry in It's a Small World! We also went to see a live performance of The Lion King. Nathanh didn't seem to like it very much because it was scary - he finds a lot of things scary. But he didn't have any nightmares and I think it was good to push him out of his comfort zone a little bit. I was surprised he didn't like it more as he loves drama, role playing and directing. I often say that he is going to be a screenplay writer when he's older...maybe not.
As we were leaving for the day, a marching band seemed to come out from nowhere and shut the street down. At least we had a front row view!
This morning we had to pack up and check out of the hotel. Today really seemed like we were rushing all day. Once we cheched out, we had the hotel keep our bags so that we could do some sight seeing. I wanted to do the cable car that it was too cloudy to do when we spent the day in Hong Kong on our way to get Nathanh. Unfortunately, our hotel was way on the other side of the city. So we took the MTR to the cable car and went up. There were some gorgeous views but we didn't really have time to explore at the top because we were worried about time.
We got down, rushed back to the MTR, got back to our hotel, got our bags and took a taxi to the airport. Once we checked in we finally had lunch at about 4:00! We then hurried again to do our duty free purchases. By then we needed to rush to the plane. It was the same gate we used almost four years ago when we flew to Hanoi to get Nathanh. The part that we had forgotten though, was that you have to take a bus to get to the airplane from the gate. So we were almost late for the bus! Yup, definitely a day of "hurry, hurry, hurry"!
We have now arrived in DaNang and checked into the resort. So far it looks beautiful. Nathanh and I went for a little walk to explore the place. Unfortunately, the thunder and lightning seems to have followed us. Hopefully it will be clear skies in the morning. So far the highlight for Nathanh has been finding frogs (lots of them) on the grassy areas in the resort!
Oh yeah, the reason we're here... On the adoption front, we have been told the G&R will be on Friday. So we are going to visit the orphanage Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. We will then stay here Friday night and Saturday night and go to Hanoi on Sunday to start the paperwork Monday. At least that is the plan...
