It is the 4th of July today and in 3 months we are off!

6 weeks to 3 months before departure you can apply for visa to China. So I have been filling the forms, 4 of them, collecting papers and finding out what we need.

Everything is almost ready. We need a passport photo each and to make some copies of Linnea’s old Swedish passport with her visa from 2012.

A lot has fallen into place during the last couple of weeks:

• We have booked the last flight: Nanning – Guiyang
• We have been in contact with Hope 4 Chinas Children and booked our visit to our sponsor girl Li on the 8th of October together with Matthew.
• We have arranged that Howard, the guy Jet & Henk had as guide in 2011 will be our guide/translator during our first week in Nanning.
• We have checked out the possibility of visiting the orphanage, but it was quite expensive to have a travel agency to arrange it  and the orphanage preferred that we met with the foster family our selves.
• We have been in contact with the foster family and foster dad will take time off from work and they are planning a schedule for us.

This is just so big that it is hard to believe! I feel so fortunate to being able to plan this trip and to have so many amazing people in our life!

So let the butterflies fly
In my stomach as if it was in the sky
This is a journey of love
Made possible by the Universe above
