Welcome to our wild ride!!!

Our agency called again today to indicate that travel approvals had arrived for a majority of the group, and ours was one of a handful that were missing....

What does this mean, well the large group is aiming to travel now by 12/6 as our agency has requested appointments from the US Consulate in Guangzhou for them. The agency says they are hopeful and optimistic that we can expect our travel approval anytime within the next 2 working days. If that is the case we will remain with the group and travel by 12/6 as well. Like I indicated in an earlier post this is a week earlier than I predicted. The group has been told not to finalize their flights to/from Hong Kong until the Consulate Appt. is obtained. So we may only have a week to maybe a week and a half to get our flights finalized before travel.

This is going to be a very very very long couple of days. I just want some certainty.

On the positive side work is okay with me being gone until 2/4, and I have to rush now to tidy up and close the office, fill out leave paperwork, expense reports, finish loans, order holiday gifts for clients, send gifts to the staff and prepare cards for mailing. We will miss all the holiday festivities leading up to Christmas and Hanukah but be home by they think...the 21st.

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!! Gooble Gooble
