The Waiting .....

So here we are at the start of a new month. I believe I can say it this month with nearly 100% certainty that we will be traveling next month ( December ). October brought us the TA ( Travel Approval) now all we are waiting on is the extension of our approval from the US Immigration service. As it looks now we might be traveling either December 2nd or the 9th.
The 9th presents an interesting scenario, if we leave on the 9th our expected return day would be the 24th. However there is a strong chance we would not make our connecting flight from either Hong Kong or Beijing. So we would be forced to stay the night of the 24th in China. The flights back to the USA from China on the 25th are about $1,000 more expensive. So, it looks like we would also spend the 25th in China and fly home on the 26th.
But as one thing we learned in this process, things change week to week and Laura and I have no control over it.
Anyway here's to hearing some good news about travel date....SOOOOOON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And as the "Philosopher" T. Petty once said "The Waiting is the Hardest Part"
