Packing...
for China is not as easy as it seems...at least for me! Those people going COO (carry-on-only) I'd like to see it in person!
Going to "go native" I suppose.
My agency emailed yesterday evening and informed us that they "could not get confirmation for everyone" on 12/25 so we will be returning on 12/26. That totally threw me off - ok, so I was already a wreck with a cold to boot! I really must learn to go with the flow. Breathe in, breath out...

Well, from what I hear - the White Swan is beautiful at Christmas - so you'll get to enjoy it the whole day! (Are you staying there?)
Two pair of jeans,sweater tops & underwear. It is cold. So, warm jacket, gloves. My pouncho kept me warm.
How exciting! I'm going to be another great Aunt!
Still putting all my stock in COO.

Karen- My clothing is no problem! It's trying to dress a little girl who is either in 9 or 12 months clothing, anticipate her needs, choose a formula, pack enough diapers and meds to survive til we can find/buy more...I guess it's packing for the unknown in less than 44lbs.!

When you are in Hong Kong, Ben will teach you about being an "elegant tourist" (aka - no rushing, just relax) When you meet Der, he will teach you about May Won Tee (no worries) Other then western med's don't worry about too much. They can get you to a store where you can buy what you need cheap.
Can't wait to follow your trip.

We did carry on only for our stuff. We took 3 bags of checked orphanage gifts like blankets clothes and stuff. But we traveled in 2005 and I understand that things have changed as to what is allowed. Oh and if youare going to Guangxi prov you will be in Nanning and there is a huge walmart and a huge department store, you can find everything you need. I am so excited for you. enjoy your time and take lots of pics even if you think you already have.
Make sure and send me your packing list, por favor!!! Ruby's bedroom is completely strewn with items for our trip - egads!
