Getting locked in

We were provided our partial travel itinerary today:

• Depart U.S. on May 11, 2006
• Arrive in Beijing on May 12, 2006
• Tour on May 13, 2006 (Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, etc)
• Fly to Changsha, Hunan on the morning of May 14, 2006
• Meet Maya!- May 15, 2006 (upon confirmation with the Beijing office)
• Fly to Guangzhou on May 20th or May 21st
• American Consulate appointment- May 23, 2006 at 9:00am
• Depart China- after 9pm on May 24th or anytime May 25th

This means that we get to meet Maya the day after Mother's Day! We need to have all of our travel finalized by Friday, but these are the pretty firm dates.

As for the fingerprints, I contacted our local Homeland Security office and they assured me that our fingerprints and everything else is up to date and we are all locked in. They are resending our case just to make sure everything is in order, but we were told that we have the paperwork that is needed. Hopefully tomorrow we will know more.
