(Wednesday afternoon) Sarah and Lydia are headed to the Xi'an airport to fly to Guangzhou. We made the decision a couple weeks ago to split up at this juncture of our trip. This way Sarah can take Lydia to her medical appointment tomorrow (Thursday), which has to be done in Guangzhou. By getting that done on Thursday instead of Saturday, Lydia's TB test results will be finished prior to Monday. That way we were able to request a Monday appointment at the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou (which we were granted). With a Monday Consulate Appointment, we will get Lydia's U.S. Visa on Tuesday and can take a van Tuesday night to Hong Kong to catch a Wednesday morning flight home.
So, why do Steve, Jonathan, Caleb, and Rachel need to stay in Xi'an? Well, we won't get Lydia's Chinese passport until Friday. So, the Xi'an crew will stay behind to shuttle her passport to Guangzhou on Friday. Sounds a bit complicated, but gets us all home sooner.
