I started putting JinPei's things in the suitcases and I am sure I am going to have to take some out. I am trying to pack the minimum because I know I can get so much of what we need in China but it is hard not to pack all the cute clothes I can't wait to see her in...So our travel plans are set:
- Aug. 27th: We fly to Hong Kong from Newark (starting in Richmond)
- Aug. 28th: We arrive in Hong Kong around 7pm China time and navigate ourselves to the hotel
- Aug. 29th & 30th: We are having a self-guided tour of Hong Kong, which will include a stop at Hong Kong Disneyland and Victoria's Peak. I think an amusement park is a great way to get over jet lag!
- Aug. 31st: Afternoon flight to Nanchang, the capital of the Jiangxi Province (Jiangxi is yellow on the map)
- Sept. 1st: We meet "PeiPei" today!!!
- Sept. 2nd-4th: Bond with JinPei and tour Nanchang, with a guide
- Sept. 5th: Late flight to Guangzhou (south of Jiangxi) where the U.S. Consulate is located
- Sept. 6th: Doug flies to Hong Kong and checks himself into a hotel! The rest of us get to meet up with the others of the Super Six!
- Sept. 7th: Doug flies from Hong Kong to Newark to Richmond
- Sept. 8th: JinPei's medical appointment
- Sept. 9th: Our Consulate Appointment
- Sept. 10th: After the Consulate's Oath ceremony we get JinPei's visa and fly to Beijing
- Sept. 11th: The Great Wall, the Summer Palace, acrobatic show
- Sept. 12th: Fly from Beijing to Newark to Richmond and hope that the immigration and customs lines are super efficient or we may miss our Richmond flight!

I'm so excited for you! I hope you enjoy every minute. I can't wait to hear more and see your pictures. Always thinking of you, Meg
I am getting so excited and nervous too!!! 9 more sleeps!! yippee!!! I am sad and nervous that my 10yo has decided he does not want to go. I hope that I have made the right decision to let him stay home. The closer it gets the more I question myself.
It is sooo close...you are almost there!
