I am pleased to announce that our acceptance letter, along with those of our travel group, are on their way to China. WOO HOO! We're one step closer to Sydney. It usually takes 3-4 weeks to get our travel approval once the acceptace letters have been sent, so we're hoping that we find out our travel arrangements by the middle of February. Unfortunately, Chinese New Year begins on January 29th, and everthing is closed for about 10 days. We're hoping this doesn't slow us down too much, which is why we're looking at the middle of February instead of the beginning.
