We know our Forever Day!

We met as a travel group on the 9th Jan, and it looks like the Handover date will be the 18th February - when we hold Jade in our arms for the first time... We are flying to Hong Kong on the 12th February and are staying the night at Kowloon, then it is onto Macau for some family R&R for a few nights before a train/bus trip to Guangzhou for some shopping. We fly to Nanchang on the 16th Feb, then onto Shanghai on the 23rd, before flying out to Melbourne on 2nd March. Alex will get to have his 45th Birthday in Shanghai! I am so excited... I can't believe this is all actually finally real and happening!!!!
In the meantime - Josh's 16th Party went really well last night. They all seemed to have fun - a terrific bunch of kids - and Josh went to bed at 6.30am!!
We are gearing up for our annual caravaning trip to Beachport in SA before we pack for China. Alex, the boys and Josh's Moni are going for a week. I get to go to work but I catch up by flying to Mt Gambier in time for the long weekend. (as it is more time I can have with Jade).
39 days till 18th Feb and counting...

I really hope those 39 days pass quickly Cindy - you seem to have been waiting a VERY long time to travel, you poor thing. Wherabouts are you staying in Nanchang? If it's the JinFeng and you would like any inside info, just drop me a line at cristinafairley@bigpond.com
