Merry Christmas to us!

Our Travel Approval arrived yesterday! We have to wait for our Consulate appointment to be confirmed, but we anticipate leaving on January 8th and coming home on the 22nd! Should know for sure on Monday. You just can't ask for a better Christmas gift!

Only one more to go!

We have received our immigration approval, so the only thing we need now is travel approval!  Our agency said to expect that in 3-4 weeks, but it could be as little as two.  Once it arrives, we will be able to leave about two weeks later.  Won't be long now!!   I've heard that our blog will probably not be accessible from China, so I'm practicing posting by email.  Hope it works!
