We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re driving home from our Christmas trip to NC, and Randy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cell phone rings. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153303 area code??\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, he says. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153ANSWER THAT, IT\u00e2\u20ac\u2122S CCAI!!!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, I calmly tell him. Turns out it was Sarah at CCAI, telling us that our LOA arrived at their office today! This is the letter from China that basically just needs our signature. CCAI will over-night it to us today\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get it on Wednesday (because of the holiday) and over-night it back to them\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6CCAI will get it back on Thursday and over-night it to China.<\/p>\n
She said that once they receive this form, we should receive our TA (travel approval) in 2-3 weeks. That means we SHOULD be leaving for China the 2nd or 3rd week of February. Chinese New Year is 2\/7, and there is no travel during that week, which sets us back a little. BUT, it works out perfectly for us because our daughter\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 12th birthday is 2\/9. We would most likely miss her birthday if CNY wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t in there.<\/p>\n
So, our 2007 has ended with some wonderful news! Happy 2008 everyone!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
