We are going earlier! Can you believe it? We had an "urgent" call from our agency this morning and of course, we could only think the worst.... something had happened with Mia! But it was just a change in the Consulate Appointment which meant frantic phone calls with itinerary changes approved in China and new tickets issued by the travel agency and "change fees" charged... but HEY! We're going to see MIa two days earlier - PRICELESS!
So here is the new plan...
September 13th Leave Asheville and tour Beijing for a few days
September 16th Leave Beijing, fly to Guangzhou, and hug Mia for the very first time
September 24th American Consulate appointment
September 26th Return home and hug all three girls at the very same time
For some reason, by changing these dates, we are able to spend less time away from our girls at home! For that we are very thankful!
And believe it or not, all of those frantic changes took place during my lunch hour (20 minutes for a teacher) at school.
