Marshie, my goodness, how did I miss this thread? I was just wondering eariler today if you had ever heard anything. Congratulations!

Now, what does this mean in terms of travel--how long, do you think, until you go and get Mia?

The current -average- time frame, which as you all know can turn on a dime, is 16-20 days til LID and 75-80 days from LID til TA. If all goes according to schedule, which it almost never does, we should get our TA in 100 days from now.

Who wants to make bets on how many days it REALLY takes?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

We will keep an eye on you, we are just about a week ahead of you for DTC. We'll post and let you know what our LID is so you can have a rough estimate yourselves.

Hard to believe that we made it this far. Hopefully the next 10-12 months goes by as fast as the previous ones!!
