The American Consulate appointment went well. Jon Wiley will officially be an American once we pass through immigration in Minneapolis. Our bags are packed. Our wake up call is scheduled for 4:30 AM. Ouch. Because of the time zones, we will have the interesting experience of taking off from Tokyo at 3:25 PM and landing in Minneapolis at 12:15 PM. Time travel!
We are all ready to be home. We had our last dinner in China, and JW did some serious clowning around. It was a lot of fun.
I sure wish we could be beamed home, though.

Thanks so much for letting us follow your adoption journey
on getting Jon Wiley.
I am sure this trip was
as amazing as when you went
back in 2005.
Have a safe trip home. Keep us posted on how Jon Wiley
is doing when get home and all settled.
Love,
The Genungs
Glad to hear everyone's faring well... am a bit surprised no one's gotten travelers illness, especially after eating ice cream.
May the travel/luggage gods continue to look favorably upon your family. At least this time you've got a more reasonable connection time in Narita.
We were very careful to only buy and eat branded ice cream: Haagen Dazs, Dreyer's, Nestle, etc.
Just realized I split that infinitive. Aargh.
We were very careful to buy only....... is what I should have said.
