Ready?

I am grateful that my agency has a precise process for handling travel. I think we are almost done with our checklist, but because they dipense the paperwork slowly, I am not so sure that we are done.

I do know this; I know I am ready to go:
Visas (in hand)- check
Paperwork notarized and organized- check
Tickets booked- check
Peditician appointment- check
Insurance called- Husband's job
Money collected- check
Flora's script- ordered
Travel plans- almost finalized
Packed- almost

I hope there is a sub category under packing that includes the laptop and all cords!

Eek! What do we need notarized now? Just updated home study or other? Did you do the I864? what is "flora's script"? We have Visas in hand, travel plans, $$$$, and pediatrician....that's it!

Looks like you're getting there! Did you call your bank to let them know you and your VISA will be in China?

Also, did you set up your BLOG so you can email your posts to it? Quite often you can't post directly with the restrictions the gov't has on BLOGGER.

Here's one more thought: It's fun to bring some sort of *pretty* paper, so when you're doing Flora's footprint, you can do one for yourself....not that those little feet aren't coming home with you, but it's nice to do in China.

You'll either need your I-864W, in which case you need social security statements (order them from the SS website) or you'll be doing the I-864 and I-864 A, when you'll need notarized letters from your employers. If one of you isn't traveling, you need notarized POA's which have been authenticated by the consulate.
