Wait and then wait some more

We are still waiting for our TA to come from China. GWCA sent out an e-mail yesterday saying that they expect the TAs by the end of the week. Problem with that is October 1 thru October 6 is a National Holiday in China, if TAs come late in the week (which is the more likely scenario), we will still have to wait to get our Consulate Appointment. Not to mention that the American Consulate will be closed October 10 for Columbus Day (Those folks have the life - getting both Chinese and American Holidays :) ) None of this really effects our travel date (which will hopefully be the end of October), but it will mean that we have to make all of our travel plans really quick! If we are really, really lucky, maybe the TAs will come today or tomorrow and we'll be able to hear something about CAs before the holiday - but that is a long shot. So we'll keep on waiting!
