Travel Plans

This will be short, sweet and to the point because I'm mentally tired and need to get to bed.

We found out this morning that our consulate appointment has been confirmed so we were able to officially make our travel arrangements to head to China. We fly out Tuesday, July 28th to Beijing. We get there early on the 29th. The next couple of days will be spent getting acclimated to the time difference and doing some sight seeing. Then we'll fly to Chongqing City Sunday August 2nd which happens to be the day we finally meet Ella. The rest of the trip will be spent finalizing the adoption and bonding with our little girl. Our flight home lands around 6:20 am on August 13th.


Interesting little tidbit...I listed August 2nd as Ella's arrival date on one of our registries.

Can't wait to see your updates. My husband once flew back from China on a flight filled with families picking up their adopted daughters. He said it was really great. Hope the "logistics" of the whole process don't drive you too crazy. I'm so happy you're finally getting to meet your daughter, Ella.

I don't know if you are comfortable adding a post on this, or if you would want to email me... are you happy with your agency and would you recommend them to someone just starting the adoption process?

Many Thanks and wonderful wishes on your journey to China!
