Travel authorization arrived 3/16!!!

We got our TA so now our agency can request the consulate appointment and build our trip from there.  I talked to them at about 3 p.m. today, so we will know more on Monday.  They say we will likely fly into Beijing where we can sightsee a little before we go to Jiangxi. 

Big brother had lots of fun watching his parents get travel immunizations last week.

We got some great advice from 2 neighbors and some more distant friends via e-mail who have done the trip.  They told us a lot about what to expect and what to pack.  It gets overwhelming because for every time you read on adoption boards to bring this and that, another person will say not to bring those same things!  Confident that it will all work out and whatever we don't bring we can either get there or live without.

    1. Thx! What you sent already was great! I'm in a FB group with families with same LID month. Some are traveling now going the same places we will be going and posting pictures with their babies, scenery, etc. They have been posting travel tips too. So helpful. A lot to do before we go!
