We got all of our travel arrangements done yesterday. What an adventure! So here you go:
-
7/17 – Leave DFW at 7pm on Tuesday 7/17 (yes, that’s one week from today).
Arrive at LAX at 8 pm.
Leave LAX at 11:50 PM for China.
7/19 – Arrive in Beijing at noon (lose a day to travel, transfer in Guangzhou, and the time difference). Pass out in hotel room.
7/20 -7/21 Tour Beijing for 2 days and try to adjust to the time change.
7/22 – Fly to Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. GET NADIA!
7/23 – 7/26 Lots of paperwork and bonding time with baby.
7/27 – Fly to Guangzhou to finish more paperwork.
7/30 – American Consulate appointment (final official thing in China).
7/31 – Leave GZ at 9 pm. Arrive in LAX at 7 pm…two hours earlier than we left China. This cracks me up.
8/1 – Visit with Grandma Stephanie and fly home to DFW at 5 pm. Arrive back in Texas at 10 pm.
WOO HOO!!! We know we are going to be dead tired after those insane flights, but it’s worth it.
Thanks in advance to all who will be praying for us and Nadia during the trip. Thanks to those who are watching our house (and having fresh food available – bless you – I know I am going to be ready for a salad). Thanks to our “drivers” for the airport runs 🙂
I have already started packing which I know doesn’t surprise a single person who knows me. And we are feeling good that everything will be done in time for us to leave. In fact, if we had Nadia’s medicine, we could leave today.
