Itinerary Finalized!!

We only have 18 days left until take-off, and we have our finalized itinerary! I have posted it day by day in the sidebar so you can keep track of where we will be everyday while we are gone.(Mom) China is 13 hours ahead of us, so if it's 7 PM here it will be 8AM the next day in China. We are leaving here on the 2nd but won't arrive until the afternoon of the 3rd there. Reversely on the way home we leave China the 16th at 4:10PM and arrive at O'Hare at 4:15Pm the same day!! What fun!! I wish the flight was only 5 minutes!! HAHA I have a feeling we will ALL be consuming some Bonine, Dramamine, Benadryl....Whatever it takes to make it back with out any ugly outbursts!! (I include myself in that comment!!) Keep us in your thoughts, especially Sha Mei.. as this is going to be the hardest on her. She is leaving everything and everybody that she has known and starting a new life with US!! No special people, no super people, no special education teacher, just our plain old family with 2 kids, cat, dog, mortgage, car payment, screaming boys and long timeouts!! She will not know what to think for quite some time I'm sure!! So if you don't see us out and about, at church, at work, at the park, don't worry, we are just trying to help her adjust to a new life. And this could take some time!!
