Tentative Travel Itinerary

今天,领养代办人告诉我,小安娜的签证材料已经通过广州领事馆的审批,意向书已经快递到北京收养中心。 收养中心应该在两周左右给我们发旅行批准。 然后我们就可以出发了。这些天我一直在同领养代办人联系,根据她的预测,初步定于月底出发。下面是她给我发的行程:

  • 3月29日,星期日:到达杭州机场,导游接机,入住宾馆
    3月30日,星期一:在浙江民政部交接孩子
    3月31日,星期二:办理领养手续
    4月1日,星期三:观光
    4月2日,星期四:观光
    4月3日,星期五:领取孩子护照,飞往广州,导游接机,入住广州白天鹅大酒店
    4月4日,星期六:体检
    4月5日,星期日:观光

    4月7日,星期二:美国领事馆面试,签证
    4月8日,星期三:领取签证
    4月9日,星期四:启程回美

看到这个行程,我非常兴奋,经过大半年的翘首以待,现在总算感到幸福就在眼前了。

Our agency notified us that that the consulate had approved our file and it has been delivered to the CCAA. We should receive TA in about two weeks. I have been talking to our agency about our travel arrangements and here is a tentative travel itinerary she planned for us:

  • Sunday 3-29-09:Travel to Hangzhou. Meet guide at Hangzhou airport, check in hotel.
    Monday 3-30-09: Meet your child at the registration office of the Civil Administration Bureau.
    Tuesday 3-31-09: Proceed with adoption registration
    Wednesday 4-1-09: sightseeing
    Thursday 4-2-09:Sightseeing
    Friday 4-3-09: Receiving your child’s passport. Fly to Guangzhou in the evening. Meet guide at Guangzhou airport. Check into White Swan Hotel
    Saturday 4-4-09: Take pictures for visa. Medical exam
    Sunday 4-5-09: Sightseeing, finish filling out forms of visa application
    Monday 4-6-09 (Qing Ming Jie): Rest
    Tuesday 4-7-09: Visa application at the American consulate.
    Wednesday 4-8-09: Pick up your child's visa
    Thursday 4-9-09: Fly from Guangzhou to back to the states

We are very excited seeing this. Now after 6 months of anxious waiting, it is finally becoming real that we are going to meet Anna.
