Blogs are a wonderful thing. It was only when DH read blog that he realized that our one stop transfer point is in Seoul.
UPDATE: Check out the photo links! We might use Flickr to upload our photos while we are in China.
Here's a run down of what we can expect -
Depart Las Vegas early, midnight ish via Korean Air; transfer in Seoul, like at 6am.
Arrive Beijing, Thursday
Beijing Tour (See the Great Wall!)
Fly to Nanchang, Jiangxi. (Remember Survivor this season was filmed near here)
Gotcha Day- Probably at hotel. (We won't know the hotel until a few days before we leave)
Nanchang (Taking lots of pictures and sending updates as we get acquainted with our little girl)
Fly to Guangzhou, American Consulate appointment
Family goes to AC to pick up passport with visa and take oath –
Earliest we can depart China-- after 9pm November 8, 2007
Short plane flight to Hong Kong; then Seoul, then back home.
Things we haven't done yet: : Weigh packed luggage, check more electronics for dual voltage, download or cut out pages from Baby Health book, see if we can get one cell phone to work from China, schedule doctors visit, make list of emergency phone numbers, decide if we want to take a power strip, re-check paperwork, experiment with the Ambien.
Answers to questions:
Where I got the new clocks on the page: Copied the idea from Todd & Brandi's page. (Be Flattered!)
Orphanage: We won't get to visit.
Package: Don't know if it got there
Health update: Asked for one, didn't get a reply, but didn't expect one either.
Name here-- Answer from Adoption agency: Doesn't matter. ( I guess even immigration officials can figure out a space doesn't make a difference if the spelling is the same. )
Plan for big noisy reception by dog when we get home: I've got something figured out, but it's a secret because I don't want the dog to hear.
Quiche: Jan made, and it was Karen who took the missing slice home before I got my hands on it.
