TA arrived at our agency office today! Tentative travel plans

Happy to announce that we have confirmation of our travel authorization!! We should have the actual copy on Tuesday. Our agency has also faxed the consulate to request our appointment date--which we will know next week as well. It looks like we maybe traveling in two weeks--OH MY GOODNESS!!

We only have to book our flights to and from China--our in-country coordinator takes care of everything else--thank God!

Tentative plans include the following:
Orlando to LA
LA to Guangzhou
Guangzhou to Beijing

Tour Beijing for 3 to 4 days
Sightseeing includes: The Great Wall of China, Tiannamen Square, The Forbidden CIty, Summer Palace and a few other places.
Then we will fly from Beijing to Guangzhou

We will most likely be staying at the White Swan Hotel--so awesome!
Gotcha Day--TBA--at the Guangdong Province Adoption Affairs Office in Guangzhou
Shopping, sightseeing and appointments in Guangzhou

Consulate appointment--Maya's visa and passport to be able to come home and become a US Citizen

Fly from Guangzhou to Hong Kong
Hong Kong for 2 or 3 days
Sightseeing and Hong Kong Disney--we figured we would take her to Disney in her Chinese backyard before bringing her Disney in her Florida backyard!

Hong Kong to Guangzhou
Guangzhou to LA
Maya officially becomes a US Citizen

LA to Orlando--finally home--the Dunn Family of three!

Maya--Mama and Daddy are on their way!
