Today, I spent the entire day working on our flights and travel arrangements to get to China. Tickets to China right now are extremely expensive. There is some big Expo in Shanghai this month and that is what the travel agents are attributing the high prices too. It is a little different this adoption trip as Caroline has a full fare ticket and so does Kate since she is over 2 yrs old. Finally, we found our flights and fortunately were able to book on Delta so that we could use some of Sean's frequent flyer miles to reduce the cost of Kate's ticket.
We depart Memphis on Monday, Aug 9th at 11:42 am and arrive in Beijing on Tuesday, August 10th at 11:10 pm (by way of Atlanta and Seattle). We hired a guide in Beijing that was recommended by a Mission Team from my Mom's church recently in China. Her name is Fangfang and she will meet us at the airport on Tuesday night in Beijing and take us to our hotel. She is going to show us some sights over the next 2 days as well. We have 2 days with Fangfang to adjust to the time change and sightsee before meeting up with our agency Group 1614. We will then tour Beijing with this group for 2 days before heading to Xian where we will get our daughter!
