Our visas are in the mail . . .

I just received an e-mail from J.C. Travel in San Francisco that they have shipped a package to me via Fed Ex. I'm not sure why they are sending it Fed Ex, since I paid for Express Mail via USPS. But I don't really care how they get it back to me. Anyway, that means our passports-- with our visas -- are on their way. Of course, we still can't go anywhere until we receive approval from China and get an appointment with the U.S. Consulate in China. But I'm happy about the visas . . . I'll take whatever I can get these days!
