I feel like celebrating! Yesterday I picked up our passports with a new Z visa imprinted in each of the passports. With this critical step now done, it is time to book our plane flights. A series of e-mails between the FAO and us lets us know that our first “staff” meeting will take place on September 3rd. With that in mind, booking the flight now is easier.
As you have probably noticed, it has been quite a while since my last post here. Life has a way of keeping us more than busy as we try to pack in as many experiences with family and friends as possible before we return to Changzhou. A family reunion and more visiting from most of grandchildren will occupy most of the next two weeks with a visit to the remaining grandchild scheduled for just days before we fly out. Between now and then, posting here will continue to be sporadic. However, once in Changzhou, this blog site will become a very important part of the experience.
