Gotcha Day Changed????????

We got an update from our agency that we need to be in Anna's province a day longer so we have no choice but to go a day sooner. So we'll go to the province Sunday, February 8th not Monday, February 9th so I think that would mean we get Anna a day sooner. YEAH but that means we only have 2 days in Beijing instead of 3. Right now they are saying that means we'll miss seeing Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. We are going to see if we can skip out on the Cloisonne Factory and go on our own and meet up with the group later. We still get to go to The Great Wall. So we shall see. Only three weeks till we leave :).

UPDATE (TUESDAY):

WE GOT AN EMAIL FROM OUR SOCIAL WORKER AND WE WON'T MISS ANYTHING. WE ARE GOING TO GO TO THE GREAT WALL AND THE CLOISONNE FACTORY SATURDAY MORNING AND THEN OUR GUIDE IS GOING TO TAKE SCOTT AND I TO TIANANMEN SQUARE AND THE FORBIDDEN CITY. SO WE WILL HAVE A JAM PACKED TWO DAYS IN BEIJING. FINE BY ME. THE TIME WILL FLY TILL WE GET ANNA
