Itinerary

Today we received our itinerary. It looks like a busy couple of weeks but we do have a couple free days that will be good for just spending time at the hotel with Ciarra and bonding. We are so excited and ready to travel. I have attached a photo of the care package so that I can make sure it works. We were hoping to have an updated photo of Ciarra to add but it looks like we will have to wait until we get to China.
