(Click either map to enlarge the image)Things have been a whirlwind the past few days. We received our Travel Approval from CCAA and our appointment with the US Consulate was confirmed for December 20th. We are leaving for Hong Kong on Thursday, December 7th and our Forever Family Day also affectionatley known as "Gotcha Day" is December 10th. It is hard to believe that we will hold Caroline in our arms in less than 5 days!!
We will stay in Nanchang the capital city of Jiangxi Province for almost a week and then we will fly to Guangzhou in Guangdong Province where we will stay for the remainder of the trip. The US Consulate is in Guangzhou and this is where we will go to take our oath and legally adopt Caroline.
Tomorrow, I will take Sadie and Mac to "The Bone Adventure" where they will vacation while we are in China. The Bone Adventure is a Doggie Daycare and there are no cages so Sadie and Mac will be able to run and play with the other dogs during the day and will sleep on doggie beds in the Bone Adventure Hotel rooms at night. The folks that run this place are so friendly and Sadie and Mac love it!! They have a Web Cam where you can view the dogs. It is hilarious to watch!! Take a look. Sadie and Mac will more than likely be in the "Outdoor Play Area" or the "Blue Room" during the day. If you want to take a look at the web cams... click here.
Then click on the video camera icon for one of the Play Areas. Mac is a yellow lab (his coat is a darker "yellow" color) with a red and black collar. Sadie is a black and tan coonhound with a purple collar.
Now I am off to pack!!
