We received the itinerary for our stay inside China. We will be staying at the Radisson SAS in Beijing and will visit TianAnMen Square, the Forbidden City & the Great Wall on Saturday, December 1. Wow! Sounds like a jammed-packed day of sight seeing. But I'm glad we will be able to see some of Beijing. Who knows when we might return.
We travel to Chongqing early on Sunday will be staying at the InterContinental Hotel. Surprisingly will meet Nina that afternoon! We thought the meeting would not be until Monday. One day earlier is even better. The adoption will be official on Monday and then we have a free day Tuesday and will go to the zoo (pandas!) on Wednesday and Ci Qi Kou Ancient Town on Thursday. More paperwork on Friday and then off to Guangzhou on Saturday. We will have some time during the week to explore on our own and of course do some shopping.
In Guangzhou we stay at the Garden Hotel and only have a few appointments during the 5 days that we are there: a medical exam, a consualte appointment and then taking an oath at the consulate and getting Nina's visa. The rest of the time we will be free to shop (do you sense a trend here?) and do some sightseeing.
It seems more real to me everyday that I will have a daughter soon. We leave in just over two weeks. Yesterday we were organizing her room after getting a new rug installed and I was sorting through her clothes and it struck me that soon she will actually be WEARING those clothes, they won't just be hanging in her closet! I was also thinking about Christmas the other day and realized that it won't just be Tim and me for Christmas this year. We will have Nina too! It will be an adjustment for all of us and we can't wait for it to happen!
