While we are Waiting for Travel Approval

So, now we have a daughter.....on the other side of the world. What next?? Well, CHI has sent a package to help prepare for the travel portion. Basically, we are setting certain things in motion to travel with a group of nine other Families (I think its nine) to China. We sent in our passports to the Chinese Consulate in Houston for a visa. We are starting to tentatively plan a trip looking something like this: Dallas to LA, or Chicago, or Newark, then on to Beijing, or Dallas to Tokyo to Beijing, or ???? So the flight is really up in the air until we get Travel Approval. Anyway, we plan on touring in Beijing for a few days, then we fly to Nanning in the Guangxi Autonomous Region (think 2-3 hours north of Hanoi to give you perspective on where we will be). We will receive Lillie there and then tour the Guilin area until her paperwork for the Chinese Adoption comes back. Guilin is northeast of Nanning....think about classic photos of Chinese landscape .........see the following websites http://www.guilinchina.net/photo/yangshuo/yangshuo17.htm andhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilin .
The other thing Lisa has worked so hard on is Lillie's room. It is wonderful and full of special touches. See below.....click on the photo below to end up on our dropshots site.
