I would definitely go with A. I’m wierd like that. It’s not really the whole ohmigosh I’m going to get sick, it’s just that I have tasted bad water and it is gross-tasting. I would definitely boil the water for cooking and teeth. My halloween went horribly. I got to spend all night at Maggie’s house, but so did Ethan. And mom. And if you’ve ever experienced your mom being there while TOTing with your friend, you’ll see how horrible it is. But if you haven’t, here’s the lowlights:
*If my mom wasn’t there we would have stayed out about three hours later than we did.
*If Ethan wasn’t there, I would have had a lot more candy.
*If Alex (Maggie’s friend) wasn’t there, I would have kept up and gotten the good candy. Like butterfinger. But I got stuck with boring old M&Ms.
*The walk back to Maggie’s house. It was like passing all these houses that had candy bowls outside and we had already gotten it. We did try to get some houses we hadn’t already gotten, but it seems that nobody had and they were closed up for the night.
*The “TRADING” ceremony. Paige:”I’ll trade you a skittles and two snickers, for your butterfinger. “Gracie: “NO!My candy!!!”
At least it was halloween and I did get all the candy before Gracie because I “made up” a rule (but Gracie didn’t know it was made up, I told her it was on the constitution) that said “Females before Felines” (I was Lady Liberty and she was a black cat.) So fun. :D

rhmSounds like everything is going well so far! I hope your sore throat goes away. I have one too now and it makes me think of you! Your hotel sound great. You have to ask if it’ll be used for other big families traveling after you! wink wink

My vote is “b”…..use hotel water for washing, brushing, but not drinking. This is how we have always done it in VN and we’ve never gotten sick. We’ve even forgotten a few times and drank from the tap with no ill consequences.

Have a WONDERFUL time tomorrow meeting Addison and seeing her orphanage and of course the G&R!!

Happy Halloween! Happy Birthday! I am in awe that you brought candy and birthday presents! You are one organized woman! I can’t wait to hear about your G&R! As far as the water goes, I hate being sick so I would err on the side of caution and use bottled for consumption/brushing and boiled for everything else except dishes.

been stalking your blog several times a day LOL I vote B and I vote you boil a big batch of water and pour it into a pitcher and sigg bottles or whatever in the fridge so you have free safe water for consumption. I’d use as-is for cooking too- I’m reckless like that.
your hair will be fine w/o a blow dryer. Its hot and humid- you weren’t going to look “really good” anyway LOL. OMG 13 hours til you get your baby!!! I’m so so excited!!! Happy Birthday Dalton! Have fun ToTing too

Happy Halloween. So awesome to get up and find another post! Love it. Keep’em coming! Hope you feel better soon. Wow, you are just hours away from Addy. I can’t imagine how you are feeling right now. She’s almost in your arms, forever! Yeah! Hope everything goes smooth tomorrow. I’ll be watching the blog for updates! My vote would be for your first option.
Take Care!

I’d still either boil the water or used bottled water for everything except for washing the dishes like Nicole said. Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday to Dalton! I can’t believe you get Addison TOMORROW - Wow! Have a great day - can’t wait to hear all about it when you have time! We’ll be thinking about you back here even if you can’t update right away. Take lots of pictures!!!

I would wash dishes, but not brush teeth. Just a personal thing. Although, I will say that brushing teeth with bottled water sucks. Make sure that Quac shows you where the nearest mini-mart is. You’ll be able to buy gallons of water for the same price as the 16oz bottles at the hotel.
I’m so glad that things are working out!! I can’t wait to see pictures of Addy Mai!!
