LEAVING TOMORROW!!!

Sorry it has been so long since my last post!

this past week has been CRAZY!  we found out on Thursday that we are leaving for China tomorrow (october 20) and are getting Zach on the 25th.  There is so much more in between these last two lines that I will spare you of right now.  Suffice it to say- this past week has been CRAZY!

We booked our tickets for $900 each (and less!) - have our bags packed, documents double checked, passports ready, cash in hand- we're all set!

Here's an abbreviated schedule:

October 20-22: Fly to Beijing- leave Reagan National at 4:20pm on Tuesday- arrive in Beijing at 9:40am on Thursday morning

October 22-23: hang out in Beijing with our friends Kristalyn Omland and Chris Hickey and Paige Snider (and their 5 year old daughter, Stella!)

October 24: Tour Beijing with the other Great Wall Families- Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City

October 25- fly to Guiyang the morning- meet ZACH @ 4:30pm!

October 25-30: stay in Guiyang- sight seeing, bonding with Zach, finalizing the adoption

October 30- Fly to Guangzhou

November 4- Consolate Appointment

November 6- get Zach's Visa
