More Frustrations

Remember the false alarm last post? Yesterday was the 3 weeks til departure mark and still no paperwork from China. I did finally get a response from an e-mail I sent about 2 weeks ago checking on the status of my stuff. My contact in China said it would be here "by the end of September." What the heck does that mean? Today is the 22nd, isn't that the end of the month? I asked her if she would be a bit more specific and she hasn't replied. I guess I need to remember patience is a virtue (and it is most certainly being tested!)
