Travel Plans

I experienced my first ever conference call, yeah... I've finally moved into the 20th Century. I'm teasing, it was actually pretty cool. We met our China travel mates on the phone, as we conferenced with our adoption agency regarding our travel plans. I think my favorite piece of information was that the hotel we will be staying in has goldfish that can be seen under the sidewalk, which apparantly is a popular and delightful attraction for the little girls. I must admit, I'd like to see that too.

So... our travel agency is sending the tickets, the visa application is on the way, we should receive our official itinery early next week, and in two weeks we get on the plane. Today, Eva turns 13 months old. Just think, for her next monthly birthday, she'll be here in the U.S. annoying the cats and delighting David and I. It's very strange how two weeks can simultaneously seem like "this is taking forever" and "oh-my-gosh, that's so quick!"
