Welcome to our Cambodian Adventure!  This trip has been in the planning stages ever since we brought the girl's home.  Ellen and I always said we would bring the girls back when they turned 10 and that time has finally come.

We are preparing for travel.  Shots have been done (the kids were glad they didn't need any), bags are packed, house sitters are set and we are ready to go.  It is currently in the 80's in Cambodia but looks like the temperatures will drop to the upper 70's beginning Wednesday when we leave.  Sara was glad of the temps changing!

There is a 12 hour difference in time so that will take some adjusting for us.  We will probably need a day to get ourselves back in the groove.

The following is our itinerary and information on where we are staying.
 
Our flight leaves the US on 12/21 and we will be arriving in Phnom Penh on 12/22 at 10:50 pm.
