We received word tonight that our appointment at the US Consulate in Guangzhou, China is the week of January 19th. We'll have more specific dates in the next week or so but WE'RE GOING TO CHINA!
Edited to add: Our appointment is actually the 20th of January!
We'll be some of the last appointments before the country virtually shuts down for 7-14 days for Chinese New Years. Mid-February brings the big trade show in Guangzhou where you see hotel room prices quadruple and sell out. We also miss the really expensive Christmas flights.
We just made it :)
Yes, we miss the cruise and my much-loved mother-in-law is understanding, but very disappointed. It helps that our 15-year old will still be going.
Thank you so much for the good thoughts and prayers and wishes - they worked!
