The Eagle Has Landed

We received our passports from the Chinese consulate in Chicago this weekend!! The first thing we did, after we jumped for joy, was crack our bottle of champagne and have mimosas! That was the best mimosa I have ever had!! :)
We have booked our flight, and we are leaving on Thursday, October 16, 2008. The movers are coming tomorrow morning to pack our air shipment. Tomorrow evening we will be moving out of our house and into a hotel. That way we can clean everything up and make sure it looks nice, as it is still on the market.
We will arrive in Hong Kong on Friday evening, and plan to stay there for the weekend. We will make our way to Dongguan City on Sunday afternoon so that we are rested and ready to begin the search for an apartment.
I will update as often as possible between now and then, although it is certain to be somewhat of a whirlwind. We love you all and thank you for your support over the last couple of months. We are grateful to have had the chance to see MOST of our friends and look forward to seeing everyone when we come home for Christmas!
