11 Days and Counting!!

OK, we feel like we just pushed a snowball off the top of a giant hill and it just keeps getting bigger! The past 5 hours have been *CRAZY*!

At 9:00 this morning we got an email with the date of our consulate appointment - 9/27. It also had a rough draft of an itinerary. We then started some other errands like putting the mail and newspaper on hold and setting up an appointment with the pediatrician upon our return.

Around noon-thirty, we had an email from the travel agency with all of our flight information. We had till 4pm to confirm and pay.

So without further ado:

We leave on Sunday, 7/9 at 3:45pm and finally arrive in Beijing on 9/11 at 12:45pm. 21 hours total. It looks like a two day flight but they are 12 hour ahead of us due to the international date line.

Josh will be with us either on 9/16 or 9/17

We arrive home on Sunday 9/30 at 9:08am (very tired)

Now we're just going to sit here and digest this for a while!
