We had the weekend to decide if we wanted to push for a super speedy travel or wait until the Chinese New Year holiday was over and go in February. After consulting a few travel agents for prices and thinking about what was best for us, we decided on waiting until February. The next step was waiting for China to confirm our appointment date that would issue Max's visa, and then we knew when we could go!
So, early this morning we were told our appointment is on 2/18 (my oldest niece's birthday!) so we can bring Max home on February 20!
Here is a rough schedule:
2/7-2/8 Travel to Beijing
2/9 Go to Shaanxi (Max'x province) GET MAX!!!
2/10-2/14 Adoption day, get passport, sight-see
2/14 Go to Guangzhou
2/15-2/17 Dr visit, shopping, sight-see
2/18 Consulate appointment
2/19 Receive Max's visa, travel to Hong Kong
2/20 FLY HOME!!!!
It's busy, but some of the days activities are short so you have the rest of the day to relax or go look around. We will have school assignments to complete, we will have lots of busy bodies that need things to do, so this will most certainly be an exciting trip.
Here we go!!!
