Only 12 more sleeps before the big departure! That's NEXT WEEK! We have everything ready for packing I guess. I am struggling a bit though with what to bring for clothes. We have to pack for two different climates. Our first week will be "Hawaii like" weather...and our second week will be just like home, cold and windy. I am trying not to overdue it on the clothes...but what do you do???
Our TA is "supposed" to arrive this week! I am stressing out a little that it's going to get lost in the mail, or they forgot to send it....or something!! So, everyone say a little TA prayer for us! We have been told...no TA, no baby! There's no going without it! I would be absolutely devastated if that happened to us after all we have been through! So, good thoughts, right mom?!!
This week we are going to have to start practicing using chopsticks, as we are told that the Chinese restaurants do not have forks...and that if we don't learn...we might starve. Can't have that happen!
We should be receiving our itinerary in the mail early this week. That will tell us our schedule while in China. And what day we will actually meet Mei Lin. I still can't believe this is happening! Yesterday I had to think about my first babysitter. I was booking a hair appointment for the end of December, and I had to think about..."who's gonna watch Mei Lin?"....weird.
7 days of work left!! Have a good week!

Funny, I was just looking at the weather links that were in the e-mail you sent me. You are going to two very different climates. Now that's tricky for packing! I can't believe it's 12 more sleeps! I'm so excited for you guys. We'll be awaiting your arrival at the airport.
On the 12th day of countdown to travel my true love gave to me.....???????
I'll be praying for your TA to arrive this week.
PS. Can you pack a fork or a bag of plastic ones? I often wonder why I never hear of anyone doing this! Have a great week!
*HUGABUGS*
Counting down those days with you So very excited for you both
With all my travelling to and from South Africa and Canada I have gotten better at packing. I have gone from packing practically a different out for every day to packing as little as possible. I try to wear things more than once and I get things washed. I have heard that it isnt expensive to send things to the laundry in the hotels in China.
