Don't you love acronyms? Totally simplifies life...if you know what they mean;)!!
Today, we got our official TA (travel approval)...which means China is letting Lee and Heather Kirkland come on over for a visit! They say the Chinese get the biggest kick out of American Southerners trying to speak their language!!
We already have our passports and visas, so our next item to check off the list is securing a CA (Consulate Appointment) in Guangzhou, China. We can either request first available or most preferred date. There's a pretty long list of families wanting first available (around Nov 16), so we feel comfortable in asking for a later appointment, Dec 9.
The CA is the last thing we will do in China. So if we get approved for the 9th, we will need to be in Ava-Yin's province city two weeks ahead of time. Our gotcha day (day we first meet...and take...Ava-Yin) would be Dec 2nd, and we would actually leave for China on Thanksgiving Day.
So...in 48 hours we should know whether or not we have a confirmed CA (aren't you proud you know what that means now??), we will then book our flights and press on...4 weeks and counting .
GOOD GRACIOUS!!
