Consulate Appointment and Plane Tickets

We have our consulate appointment confirmed - January 27th. So we will actually come back on January 30th. We also purchased our plane tickets yesterday. We will be flying from Wichita to Chicago, and then into Beijing. And on the way back we will be flying from Shanghai to Chicago, and then into Wichita. Now we are waiting for our agency to send us an itinerary for the in China travel arrangements. After we receive that we should have all arrangements made!! Now we have to make sure we can fit all our stuff into 4 suitcases with each suitcase weighing under 44 pounds. I think we have some fine tuning to do!
