After much wailing and gnashing of teeth (ask us what we think about Great Wall Adoption Agency), we are finally set for our trip to China.
We depart OKC at 7:45 a.m. on Saturday March 22nd, and arrive in Guangzhou Sunday the 23rd at 10:40 p.m.
Gotcha Day is Monday March 24th around 3:30 p.m.
Coming home we depart Guangzhou at 8:05 a.m. on April 9th, and get home 10:10 p.m., also on the 9th.
Due to scheduling conflicts, a lack of help from the agency, and the fact that they were trying to make us stay in country for 3 full weeks as opposed to the 2 weeks we have been assured for the past 3 years, we will not get to visit Beijing and see the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, the Beijing Pandas, and all of the other sights we were excited to see. We are still excited to finally meet Audrey and get to bring her home, and we can't wait for all of you to meet her also as soon as she gets home.
We hope that you will follow along on our trip via this blog. We will post as much video, and as many photos as we can while there. Some people have reported problems with the web while in China, but since we will be in a major city the entire duration of our trip this hopefully won't be an issue for us.

Hi !
I´m Hrönn from Iceland. I have been following your blog since we got the notice in feb. We will be a group from Iceland getting 5 babies in Guangzhou at the same time as you are there. We will arrive little bit later - 31.march and stay till 11. april. Will you be staying at the White Swan hotel ? If so maybe we will meet there ?
Best wishes and have a good trip.
Our blog is in Icelandic but maybe you like to see it ?

It can be disheartening to be at the mercy of others half a world away. Hopefully once you guys are there in person things will go more smoothly.
All the best,
Shellye & Skip

:-)
have a safe trip & take tons of pictures!
Safe travels! Can't wait to hear about your journey! - Erin from gwca dec 2005 group
