And still waiting

The week came and went -- still no travel approval. Oy vay ...

The word on the streets is that TAs are ready to go and are either waiting for a signature from someone who will be out of the office for a week or WERE waiting for a signature from someone who WAS out last week. In either case ... I will either get TA on Monday or a week later. I am hoping to leave for China either July 20ish or July 28ish.

In the mean time, I will get packed this weekend so that we are ready to roll whenever we get word. :)
