By Monday, we were contacted by FOI regarding departure dates - we leave for China on July 22nd!!!! The planning begins - calls to the travel agency to book tickets, etc. and the beginning of the huge task of packing! Jason's brother Chris decided that he would like to travel with us to China, and we were excited to have him along!
