Tuesday mail

Nothing in the mail today. We're getting down to the wire now. We've decided that if our renewal comes in the mail tomorrow, then we'll make a decision based on flights/prices as to whether we can still leave this week. If it doesn't come, then we'll have to wait another 5 weeks due to the China holiday and trade fairs. So we would then leave around Oct 22 with an embassy appt. on Nov 2 or 3. I know we will get there eventually, but the waiting really stinks!
