There is a superstition amongst us adoptive parents that has to do with getting updates about your child (there are also some superstitions about ladybugs and shaving certain body parts, but I won't go there), which is that if you get an update then Travel Approval follows immediately. Well .... the day after we got an update .... we got Travel Approval! (For the record, I am not superstitious, and I personally think it had more to do with the little-kid desperate prayer I prayed this morning: Please, God, travel approval today. Thank you. Amen.)
Because of the trade show in Guangzhou and the holiday the first week of May, the earliest we will travel to China is May 5. Our agency is still working on getting us a consulate appointment, which determines everything else about our trip. Because it is Friday in China, our agency wasn't able to get ahold of anyone on the phone, and they expect to hear back from the consulate on Tuesday.
So - I am disappointed that we are not going to China in April. Robert is, too, but his disappointment is tempered by the practical considerations of : cheaper hotel rooms in May (wayyyy cheaper) and also more time to plan and pack.

Where In The World ...?
Guangzhou is near Hong Kong, bottom right corner. Dianbai is just below the "M" in Macau (which is south of Guangzhou).
