Travel Authority and Other General Information
Now that I have posted my first ever blog post, I can start posting more updates. So...
Today, we received our Travel Authority (permission to travel to China to pick up Abby) and our passports with our China visa (meaning we are allowed in the country). This is the last step before we board the airplane and go to China.
We first go to Beijing and then to Guangzhou (Canton). Our time in Beijing is designed to give us some cultural insights. It will also help with cultural adjustments (food, smells, sights, etc.). Then we go to Guangzhou and the real fun starts!
We are excited about the opportunity to tour Beijing, climb the Great Wall and trying to find creative ways to stay warm. After we are done in Beijing, we will travel to Guangzhou to start the process of getting Abby. From our understanding, we should get Abby three weeks from today and then start the process of completing paperwork-both for the Chinese government and the US government.
The road to Abby has been interesting. We continue to enjoy the journey.
