We have travel approval!!

I'm so excited!  Our agency called this morning and told us the good news.  AND they said it shouldn't be a problem to travel before Chinese New Year.  That's the best news ever!  We should know when our consulate appointment is in the morning, and then we can confirm our flights.  It looks like we'll be flying to Seattle and then to Beijing and then to Guangzhou in order to save money.  I wish we could fly directly to Guangzhou, but it's a lot more money.

If we get the consulate date we are asking for, we should be leaving a week from Saturday.  Holy cow!  I have a gazillion things to do!  Ack!
