9 more days

9 more days until we leave for China. I am still waiting for our visas. Yes this is getting old. Chris the courier in NYC said they would be ready today then he will FedEx them to us. BTW a visa is a stamp they put in your passport so it is our actual passports that are in NYC. Praying they make it back here ok! 

Today we have to wire the rest of our fees to China. Let me tell you this is so much better than how it used to be done. You used to have to take something like $10k cash with you to China then exchange it to Chinese yuan.

I am sitting here now with ice on my leg because a shopping cart fell on my leg. Ouch! Now I will have a huge bruise on my calf. Rachel has an end of the summer cold which we will probably all get. I really should be packing!
