Here is what we know so far about our travel Itinerary.
Saturday, October 13 6am: Leave Grand Forks. Fly to Denver then to Vancouver and finally to Guangzhou. Since Guangzhou is 13 hours ahead of us, we will arrive there at 5pm on Sunday, October 14.
Monday, 10/15: Meet Kora in afternoon
Tuesday, 10/16: Adoption Registration and apply for Passport
Wednesday, 10/17: Medical Exam and Visa Photo
Thursday, 10/18: Get Medical Test Results
Friday - Sunday, 10/19-10/21: Free days while waiting for passport and notarized documents
Monday, 10/22: Embassy Appointment at US Consulate
Tuesday, 10/23: Pick up Visa
Wednesday, 10/24: Fly home. We leave at 2 pm from Guangzhou and fly to the same airports as when we left. We will arrive in Grand Forks at 10:45 Wednesday evening since we gain the time back for the time difference.
We also hope to travel to Yangxi to see Kora's orphanage on one of the free days, but we won't have that confirmed until next week when the China government offices reopen after their week long holiday this week.
Both flights from start to finish with lay-overs are about 22 hours. The longest flight is from Vancouver to Guangzhou which is 13 hours. So we'll find out how well all of us can sleep in an airplane.
