Travel Plans!!!!!



We got our itinerary from our agency. There are 3 families in total in our group. One family is going to the same province we are; the other family we'll meet in Beijing and then again in Guangzhou.



Day 1: Fly to Beijing from Boston through Chicago. We stay at the Wang Fu Jing Hotel. It's right outside Tian An Men Square and the Forbidden City.

Day 2: Sightseeing at the Great Wall and going to see an acrobatic show.

Day 3: Morning sightseeing the Summer Palace and off to Jinan in the afternoon. We're staying at the Quancheng Hotel.

Day 4: MEET THE CHILDREN!!!!!!!!! Registration and notarization. I don't see a lot of sleep coming my way the night before*S*

Day 5 & 6: Local sightseeing.

Day 7: Vist the SWI. I am very thankful that we are able to do this. I know so many SWIs don't allow it and I think this one even allows pictures to be taken.

Day 8: Get legal documents

Day 9: Fly to Guangzhou. Staying at the White Swan

Day 10: Local sightseeing

Day 11: Photos and physicals

Day 12: visa

Day 13: Swearing in ceremony, get visas. The rest of the group is flying back to Beijing this day. We're staying an extra night at the White Swan.

Day 14: Take train to Hong Kong. Staying at Hollywood Hotel, Disneyland.

Day 15: Hong Kong

Day 16: Hong Kong

Day 17: Fly home. We fly out on March 11 at around 6 pm and arrive in Boston on March 11 around midnight - sounds like a short trip instead of the 18 hours it really is. We're going to stay in a hotel near the airport that night rather than try to get through customs, get a cab, get to the in-laws where our car is and drive home.
