VISA's

Today Eric and I were queueing outside the Chinese Consulate in London from 06h30 and were 3rd in the queue!! 5 hours later - we walked out with our Visa's - We are so happy, and it was great to actually have completed one of the tasks we have been waiting to do for the last 2 years since we knew about the process. Now we need to book flights, pack and Go!!!

Delighted to hear that your visit was successful! I found the visa application (queuing and uncertainty) to be a milestone in the journey, a very emotional and memorable morning.
Congratulations, one step closer to Li-Na, she'll be home before you know it!
With love,
Kate and Alice

What a cutie, she is sooo sooo lucky to have such wonderful parents. We will all join you in the new and exciting adventure, thank you. Our help will be just around the corner, or the end of the phone line. God has a plan for all of us, even the long wait. Glad it went well today too. God bless, love Granny Bee London

Hi Laura and Eric,

Saw your announcement on the UK Yahoo group and couldn't resist a peep at Li-Na. She looks adorable, bet you can't wait to get over to China and meet her in person.

Good luck with your journey,
Love
Janet
