DAY 22: The TA arrived!

We received an email today that our travel authorization did indeed arrive. They still need to confirm the visa appointment, which may not happen for a few days since everything in China is closed for a holiday right now. As long as that is confirmed, we will travel between 5/23 and 6/7.

Today was focused on finalizing the packing list. Our agency offers a wonderful service called PTAG - the Parents Travel Advisory Group. They hold monthly meetings for those who are waiting so that a parent who has already been to China can fill you in on what to expect, what to pack, etc. Well, our travel group is lucky enough to have a PTAG volunteer mom in it! I emailed her all of my silly questions today and she responded with the much-needed answers!

Congrats on TA. There is an email link on the right sidebar near the top. It's labelled Talk to Me. Thanks in advance for the recipe, and good luck on your trip. It's an amazing experience.

I saw your link on the forum. I recently had my referral from Suichuan, too. I will be following your journey!
