Steve and Aiwen Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hello All, Leaving tomorrow for China....and the Interview! Have the kitchen sink and everything packed, I leave tomorrow afternoon, and arrive in GUZ at 6:30 AM Friday morning via China Southern airlines....so we have Fri, Sat, Sun, and Mon to prepare....I'll go to ACH on Monday, and TRY to sleep Monday night.... I'll post results from GUZ as soon as I have them.... One hitch....none of the copy places here wanted to copy my passport in color....I hope the black and while copies will suffice, if asked for.....also, had trouble getting them notorized in my small town, the notary said they couldn't notarize a "passport".....even just the copies...go figure....I'll get it done at the bank in the AM before I leave for Nashville.....Lord, save me from small country town clerks.....set your clocks back 30 years....other than that, I have all my "ducks in a row"......send the good vibrations our way for a "pink"!!! Worst case, I get the passport copy notarized at the Consulate and pay the big money.....shoot, it's just a fall-back in case they ask for it...they'll have my REAL PASSPORT in their hands, since I'll be down in the coffee shop on the 4th floor.

Give her a big hug and tell her she's got the biggest cheerleading squad in the US!!! Link to comment
IllinoisDave Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Good luck Steve!! I see pink in your future. I'll be right behind you one month from today. Yeah, the UPS store I went to told me it was illegal to copy passports in color. Go figure. Can't wait to hear how it goes. I'm sue Aiwen will do great! Go get 'em. btw. Where did you book your plane tickets through? Did you get a decent price? Edited September 12, 2007 by IllinoisDave (see edit history) Link to comment

Then a local notary will compare original to color copy and notarize the copies for me. Link to comment

tsap seui Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Good luck Steve and Aiwen. I'm thinking pink for you, and if it is any sign, we had a beautiful pink sunset here in the mountains today. My best wishes are with you both. tsap seui Link to comment
clayton2103 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Steve, Before you leave I have some very simple and easy comments to make. I need not wish you the luck. This has already been bestowed upon you when you found Aiwen half way around the world in Nanning. If this is not luck, I do not know what is.I need not wish you the pink, because I have all the confidence to tell you that I feel it is already yours. I so hope to follow soon in your footsteps step for step.I need not wish to bid you a farewell, but I do wish to welcome you and Aiwen to your new and wonderful life that is soon to begin.As I am to travel to Nanning late next week, I will sense that the city is missing one of the best.Bring her home Steve.

Thanks....I booked the China ticket for me thru Travel Depot in Monteray Park, CA.....rogininca turned me on to them.....ask for Henry....best price anywhere for China Southern tickets...Aiwen booked her one-way ticket from an agent on the 4th floor of the Consulate in GUZ.....they had the best price, and we don't have to actually pay for it until we have the visa in-hand, Sept 20. Domestic flights all free, thanks to accumulated frequent flyer miles.... Steve Link to comment
