So, Our Paperwork Is Done

Today started out same as most.  We had to hang out in the room for an hour just in case there was a problem with our consulate paperwork.  No calls.

After that we explored the island a little more and got a few more things for Gracie.

At 2:00pm, we had a short meeting in De’s room.  The first thing he told us is that all of our paperwork is OK, so we are done.  Tomorrow afternoon we check out of the hotel, and head over to the US consulate for a quick group interview.  When we are done that we get Gracie’s travel visa, and we head to Hong Kong by bus.  The trip to Hong Kong will take about four hours or so.

When we were done with the meeting, we did some group pictures. We did a picture with all of the families together, and then we did some photos of the girls on one of the red couches. We have sixteen kids in our travel group, and all of them didn’t quite fit on the couch.  Getting that many kids to sit still for a few minutes wasn’t easy, but we have some nice shots.

Given the timing of everything, I am not sure if we will be able to blog tomorrow in real-time.  If I can’t, I will back-date a post when I am at the Hong Kong Airport.
