But who's counting? We are so ready to go and get our girl! Sam was telling everyone at the playground today that he has a sister in China named Kate. Today we received our actual Travel Approval document (our case manager had had it) and it is SO official-looking! We also received our Travel Visas! I am such a planner/packer/list-maker and I am having so much fun at this stage of the game. Getting together all of her cute, girlie outfits to pack has just made me giddy! For those interested, here is our itinerary:
Friday July 17th: leave ATL at 2:20pm
Saturday July 18th: arrive in Beijing at 10:30pm
Sunday July 19th: visit the Great Wall and the Forbidden City
Monday July 20th: fly to Guangzhou at 9:00am, meet Kate that afternoon!
Tuesday July 21st: Registration and Notarization
Wednesday July 22nd: Apply for Kate's passport
Thursday July 23rd: Local sight-seeing
Friday July 24th: Kate's physical and photos for visa
Saturday July 25th: visit the Temple of Six Banyan Trees and Ancestral Temple of Chen Family
Sunday July 26th: visit Liu Hua Lake Park
Monday July 27th: Get passport and results of physical
Tuesday July 28th: (our 8th wedding anniversary) apply for visa for Kate
Wednesday July 29th: pack-up, get visa
Thursday July 30th: leave Guagzhou for home at 9:15am, arrive in ATL at 2:55pm (it's a 20 hr flight with a 12 hr time difference-- should be fun!)
