We have a Consulate appointment!

We received news yesterday that our Consulate appointment for Travel Group 1750 was confirmed for July 18, 2011!!  We are supposed to arrive in Bejing on or before July 7, 2011 (Elli's  1 1/2 Birthday!)
Our first China itinerary had us arriving in Hong Kong on July 8!!...wrong city...a day late...and it also had us leaving China at the wrong time... and arriving home in the wrong city!!!
I choose to try to remain calm....
