We got our travel invite. Our appointment has been made at the consulate in China. The flights are booked. The bags are half packed (but it is weird bc the suitcase is 3/4 full....). So here we go!! Our travel plans are as follows.
We (my dad and I)leave Wednesday morning and fly to Atlanta. 2 of the adoptive moms I met through Facebook are on our same flight leaving Altanta. Squealing will be heard at the gate when we meet up!
We leave Atlanta at noon to Korea. We arrive in Korea at 5pm on Thursday. Yep. Gotta love the time difference.
We leave Korea at 7pm and get to Beijing about 8pm and we will crash at the hotel.
We tour in Beijing (where I will freeze ) and fly to Zhenzhou on Sunday.
On Monday the 21st we get Claire!!! We have lots of paperwork and have to wait for her passport to be issued.
On Saturday I will fly to Ghuangzhou with Claire, and my dad will fly home. Scott meets me there Monday. We will have Claire's medical exam which is required for her visa into the US. Our consulate appointment where they approve all the immigration paperwork is Thursday, the 31st. We will get her visa on Friday and begin the trek home!
We will fly out of Hong Kong at 1am sat morning. Arrive in Korea at 5am. Leave Korea for Atlanta at 10am. We arrive in Atlanta sat am at 9. Yep, we get to Atlanta an hour before we leave Korea!!! Crazy!!! We clear customs and immigration and Claire becomes a US citizen!! We have a long layover because our first choice flight home was full- but this gives us the chance to see Scott's brother and his family!! And they get to meet Claire!
We will arrive home at 2:55(ish)pm. All are invited to greet us at the airport!! We will be the exhausted travelers with a wailing toddler. Should be easy to spot!!
WE ARE GOING TO CHINA!!!!!
