On our way!

Kris and I fly out tomorrow to Vietnam! We are very excited to finally be on our way and for this mission to begin! We will have a 14 hour flight from Dulles to Seoul, South Korea with a little break in the airport, then a 4.5 hour flight to Hanoi, Vietnam where we will stay overnight. In the morning we will have a short 1.5 hour flight to Qui Nhon, Vietnam where we will meet up with the Project HOPE Medical Directors for a 45 minute bus ride to the USNS Mercy. Smaller boats will take us to the Mercy and we should be onboard and ready to get to work by about 3pm Monday ICT (Indochina Time). Hopefully everything goes as planned! We'll let you know when we are safely aboard. Also, keep in mind that ICT is 11 hours ahead of EST (Eastern Standard Time). So we will most likely be contacting family at odd hours (sorry!)
