Room

Hey everyone,
Sorry I have not posted in ever but I am so busy. So since I haven't posted in a long time I will give you some history. So we are in Hoi An. Lantern Central. Our hotel is amazing! HUGE pool, HUGE buffet, HUGE view of the river, 20 steps to the ocean, SUPER close to a real elefant, our room has own balcony, beautiful bypass plantation-shuttered doors of brown brown color, plus french doors, HUGE T.V, tiny bathtub, a beautiful hand-made wooden bridge, a phoose-ball table, a pond with over a hundred fish, a gymnasium ( sadly not gymnastics ), a pretty big spa, and my new friend Trevor! Trevor is American but has lived here for five years and know three words of vietnamese.
So that is the hotel.
Anyways I forgot to post this when I wrote it, today is Saturday at 7:31 AM
So we are in Hue at our 4 star hotel really it is not as nice as our other hotel.
Tiny balcony, terrible view of the river, two rooms, two single beds, one queen bed, cool desks, annoying tall tub, two T.V's, and more.............

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone,
Oh my gosh!Today happened all so fast.
First I woke up....
Okay LOL it does not start there
First me and my family went back to my care center/orphnage.
Second I fell in LUV with a awesome baby, who can walk, that I named Leia  or a nickname Lee a Vietnamese name. When, I called her that name she smiled and stared at me. AAAAWWWW!!!!!!!!
Third we had a meeting with the new director.
Fourth we went to see the old director who was in-charge when I was there.
Fifth the old director totally remembered me and gave me a sniff or in America a kiss.
Sixth we talked about a few things that made the director cry because no other family had come back before to find their history.
Seventh the director said a ton of super intense feelings.
Eighth we went out to eat with...............
A few
 Vietnamese Newspapers!!!!!!!!!!!!
So cool right. So I will be in the newspapers so maybe someone will recognize my picture when I was a baby and see me now.
Ninth at the restaurant there was a monkey their and it grabbed my brother Minh's glasses of his face and snapped the up into pieces.
Tenth we went back and fourth between hospitals trying to find some source or data about me.
OMG there is more but I will not bore u to death plus it was boring (LOL).

Hi everyone,
Sorry I haven't posted in a long time.
Today we are leaving for Da Nang!!!!!!!!!! Where I was born.
We go by train.
So yesterday my family and our translator Nhi tried to find Minhs nanny. My family was just about to give up after hours of "goose chasing"  when Nhi came back and sighed and smiled..........

Here is the exciting part please try not to faint.......

" OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We found not just someone who knows her, she is her SISTER and is taking us to her now!!!!!!!!"
We finally found Minhs nanny all thanks to Nhi.
So that night we suprised Nhi with taking her to dinner. At first she really didn't want to go so Sam said, " just get in the car!" She got in and we told her what was going on.


 It was super fun yesterday..... Besides the goose chase!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry/owww/!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
