Did you know that the number 8 is considered lucky in China? Eight (pronounced "ba") sounds like the word for "prosper" or "wealth." Did you notice that the Opening Ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Beijing started at 8:08:08 pm (local time) on August 8, 2008. Does that mean that we'll have good luck this week with only 8 weeks to go until we fly out?
All of the pieces are in place and it looks like it will really happen this time - we just received our visas, the movers are scheduled for June 15-17, and our plane leaves Portland the evening of June 18. We will fly to LAX, then to Seoul, South Korea, then to Dalian.
We still have a list of things to do, but we are feeling pretty relaxed and ready considering a large chunk of the work was already done in the fall.
In Dalian, we will move into the same condo that we had reserved before (yea!), and will enjoy (?) a hot, humid summer before the kids start school there on August 13.
Our goal is at least weekly blog updates until we leave...
