Still Waiting for Our TA (Travel Approval/Arrangements)

We are still waiting for our Travel Approval/Arrangements from China. A group of parents from our agency ahead of us received their TA's today, and are now waiting for their CA (Consulate Appointment). CA is the very last appointment in China before we can come back home. Also we have to have CA before we can make any kind of airplane reservations. The sooner the better because the prices of airfares change at a regular pace, especially with the Olympics coming up.
