We finally have our itinerary!!! I personalized it a little, as we are doing a few things differently while in Beijing since we are getting Kate there and Drew will be there. We are SO excited. I cannot believe this is FINALLY happening! We also had our travel meeting yesterday!! We are traveling with 4 other families who are all adopting boys! 4 of us have already adopted from China! 2 of those families and us are bringing our 2 year old girls... so AC will have "sinds!" Those two families are also from NC and will be on our flight to Beijing! So fun! The other family is adopting 2 boys! Links to their blogs are on the sidebar under "Traveling With..."
*updated to add: Keri, are you kidding me? OF COURSE we are going shopping more than one day! CAs, Paperwork Parties, and the oath don't take much time out of the day... the rest of those days will be spent SHOPPING!
Less than a week until we leave... A week from tomorrow and we'll have Kate!!!!!!

THings are coming together so quickly, this is great news!!!
Are all the rooms done yet? It's getting close....... :-)
The day you get Kate is my birthday-- how exciting! So many reasons to celebrate...
Emily,
Everything looks great except one thing. You only have shopping down twice. I realize it is technically for 4 days, but only one day is in Guangzhou! Now, Emily...I have shopped with you and I know this just won't do! You will definitely need at least one or two more days in Guangzhou! You don't know how much I wish I was going to be there with you guys again so you could get me some good bargains! I will be with you guys in my prayers and spirit and I will be stalking the website!!!!
(I suggest you let your Dad go to the paperwork party and you, your mom and the girls sneek off to do some more damage, I mean shopping!)
Keri
