Ok ... So November

Due to October Trade Fairs ... which unreasonably jack up the cost of a hotel room ($85 becomes $285) ... it looks like I'll be going around Oct. 31. Our agency is trying to get a Nov. 11 consulate appointment.

Its all good. This way I won't have to miss Joe's 10th birthday on Oct. 29! ;-)

I really was getting kind of sad thinking I would miss Joe's birthday this year ... on top of him being upset that he doesn't get to go to China this time ... would have been some tears shed on both sides of the world.
