More Details About Our Travel Plans

After everything that has happened in the last week, I didn't want to post actual travel info until we were 100% certain it was a sure thing. So here are the cliff notes version of our travel plans:
  • We leave home on Thursday, June 26.
  • We have to spend one night in Guangzhou before we make it to Nanning on Saturday, June 28.
  • We will be meeting Chloe in Nanning on either Sunday, June 29 or Monday, June 30. Theses details are still being worked out.
  • We stay in Nanning for a few days while the Chinese portion of the adoption process is completed.
  • We leave Nanning on Saturday, July 5 and fly to Guangzhou. This is where we go to the American Consulate and complete the U.S. required paperwork.
  • We head home on Thursday, July 10. Because of the time difference we will actually arrive home on July 10 just 25 minutes after our Guangzhou departure. (I sure hope the flight home with an 11-month old feels like a 25-minute flights. Haa-haa-haa.)

I am ecstatic that we will be home for Skylar's 5th birthday. I'm also very happy that I get to keep the promise that her little sister will be at her birthday. Now I just have to figure out how to celebrate her birthday. This jet-lagged super mom is buying a store-bought cake this year. Ummm, well maybe.

Congratulations on having your travel in place! I bet you can't wait for the next 2.5 weeks! Are groups NOT going to Beijing anymore b/c its too close to the Olympics?
