We finally have our reservations made and tickets (well, e-tickets) in hand. Here is our itinerary:
Jan 31: Leave Frankfurt
Jan 31: Arrive Dulles, VA
Feb 1: Depart Dulles
Feb 2: Arrive Beijing
Feb 3: Go check out THE WALL - How awesome is that? We can't wait! We didn't think we would be able to do this, but our air routed us through Beijing anyway and with a layover. This is so, so exciting.
Feb 4: Leave Beijing and Arrive Haikou
Feb 5: Get Rosie. Yes.
Feb 6: Tour Rosie's orphanage and get paperwork started
Feb 7-11: Hang out in Hainan
Feb 11: Fly to Guangzhou
Feb 12th and 13th: Paper work and American Consulate
Feb 14th: Get Rosie's visa
Feb 15th: Fly back to Dulles via Beijing
Feb 16: Arrive Dulles
Feb 16 - 23: Apply for Rosie's passport, citizenship, social security card and German visa, and hopefully do an American readoption if we can get it done that quickly
Feb 24: Fly back to Frankfurt
The return dates are approximate. We aren't sure how long it will take to get the German visa. We are tweaking every possible tweak to get it done quickly....mostly we are praying a lot!

Hi Holly, I wanted to stop by to tell you good luck! You are leaving on our anniversary and getting back on my birthday, so I am sure those will be good travel days :). I just read the post from Elizabeth. It is so great to connect with American friends not living in the states!
Well, have safe travels and I look foward to reading about you holding Rosie in your arms for the first time!
