We have scheduled and rescheduled so many times, but we finally received our consulate appt. and that was the key date we needed. So first let me say that these dates are not 100% confirmed because we sent them to our director this morning and he has to give the green light before we can actually purchase them. But here it is:
Tuesday-Oct. 30--DFW to SFO in A.M.
Wednesday-Oct. 31--SFO to Vancouver and then Vancouver to Beijing
Thursday-Nov. 1--Actually arrive in Beijing at 3:05pm Beijing time
Nov. 2-4--Tour Beijing
Nov. 5-Leave Beijing to Nanchang, Jiangxi Province
Nov. 5 or 6 will be Family Day--we get Gracie one of these days
Nov. 8--Gracie's 1st Birthday!
Nov. 6-11--Paperwork in Jiangxi and tour Nanchang
Nov. 12--Leave Nanchang to Guangzhou
Nov. 13--Gracie's physical
Nov. 14--Consulate Appt.
Nov. 15--Pick up paperwork at Consulate
Nov. 16--COME HOME!! 12:50 pm from Hong Kong (we will take a 3 hour train ride from Guangzhou to Hong Kong)---8:31 am SFO and then 10:40 SFO--4:04 DFW.
We will be gone almost 3 weeks! It could be shorter if we didn't stay a night in San Francisco or tour Beijing, but we can't pass those up. We will post to this site while we are travelling, but we have been told that internet service, while free of charge in most hotels, is still very sketchy, especially in Beijing. I thought I would mention that because if you don't see posts for several days, it isn't because we aren't trying.
We will have more specifics when the travel agency books the domestic China flights and all of the activities. We know the Great Wall and Forbidden City will be included and hopefully a hutong tour, so check back-there is more come. In the mean time you can scroll down and look at our little cutie--we do all the time:)

Not much longer now! Yeah! Doesn't look like you have any long lay overs. That can be a real nightmare on the trip back to try to make sure when you book. We'll be following you on this great adventure.
I'll be at the CA the day before you, so I'll leave lots of happy vibes in my wake for you to enjoy. Happy travels!
