Travel Dates Are In!

After several hectic days where the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou misplaced our I-171H which they HAD TO HAVE in order to make our appointment, we finally have all our travel dates. It all worked out.
We are leaving on Saturday November 11th at 10:10AM from Chicago, go to Detroit on Northwest Airlines. We fly from Detroit to Tokyo nonstop. From Tokyo, we fly into Guangzhou, China. On the 22nd we just reverse the process.

We have an appoinment to meet Kaia on November 11th at 11:00am China Time. Since they are 13 hours ahead at that time, ( Non DST for us) that will actually be the 10th at 10:00PM here at home (EST)

Now all the things that need to be done before we leave is crazy. Oh Well!

TA CALL

We received a call from Jouneys of the heart on Friday, Oct 24th that the Travel Approval had been mailed from China. It just so happens the 24th was our anniversary so that was a great present!
Our SW, Gabriel said to be ready to travel in 7-10 days. We have waited for 14 months and now we have a short time to get everything together to travel, including running to the Chinese Consulate in Chicago to get VISA's for our passports.
Now the real fun begins :)
