It's Official!!!!

We received our official consulate date of 11/19 today! Whew, we were sweating bullets for a couple of days. Our airfares had just sky rocketed and with 6 of us it was going to cost a pretty penny. However, our most favorite and wonderful travel agent, Sue Sorells searched and found some good fares.
We leave Atlanta on 11/9, go into Chicago, then into Beijing where we connect on a flight to Fuzhou, the provincial capital where we will finally get to meet Matthew! Our Gotcha Day is scheduled for the 12th. We hope to take an overnight trip to Xiamen so we can tour the beautiful city where our son spent the beginning of his life. We hope this will help him with some closure. After a week in Fuzhou, we will leave to go to Guangzhou for the medical appointment, visa and finally the swearing in ceremony on the 20th. On the evening of 11/20 we want to take the train in to Hong Kong where we will stay at the Victorian Hotel in Hong Kong Disneyland!!!!
For those of you who know the Disney Hotels, this one is exactly like the Floridian in Orlando, just not nearly as expensive. We chose this hotel over the Disney Hollywood only because it has an indoor pool. We definitely wanted to be able to swim no matter what the weather.
Speaking of weather it will be warm in Fuzhou and Guanzhou but not uncomfortable. It should be perfect for touring! We don't have our complete in-China itinerary but hope to have it in a day or so.
It is just so unbelievable, in 2 weeks Huang Qing Nan will have a forever family and this family of girls will have a brother and a son! How lucky we all are!
