It's really happening. We received our tickets and travel itinerary and, most important, our TA (Travel Authorization from the Chinese Government).
Here's our (tentative) itinerary:
Nov. 17: 0730 Depart Baltimore/Washington airport for Chicago Ohare; 1205 depart Chicago for Beijing . . .
Nov 18: 1540 (local time; 0340 EST. East coast US is 12 hours behind China) Arrive Beijing International airport
Nov. 19: free day (thank goodness! We'll need SLEEP)
Nov. 20-22 Tour Beijing, Great Wall, etc (shopping)
Nov. 22 1125 depart Beijing for Nanchang; GOTCHA DAY (we get Elizabeth Xiang Bing!!!)
Nov. 23-25 Various adoption paperwork appointments, etc. Receive Little Empress's passport.
Nov. 25 1500 depart Nanchang for Guangzhou
Nov 25-30 Visa appointments, medical checkup, more paperwork . . .
Nov. 30 0930 depart Gunagzhou for Hong Kong
Dec 1 1135 Depart Hong Kong for Chicago Ohare (we're going home!!!) Arrive 1140 am Chicago time (work that out); 1400 depart Chicago for BWI, ETA 1530
Times could change, but we hope days don't.
Please pray/think good thoughts, as there are worrying reports that China might halt all travel in/out due to Bird Flu.
The countdown to our Journey to Elizabeth begins . . .
