Adventures in China 2009




I am about to embark on a trip of a lifetime which I have been planning since May 2008. I will be traveling to China with three girlfriends...Kristi, Janie, and Mary. Our travel adventures will begin in Chicago on July 15 where we will board an American Airlines flight for Beijing. We will change planes in Tokyo, Japan and will have just a few hours in the airport. Enough time to buy a souvenir or two...no, not a tacky t-shirt...a classy one.
I'm really not looking forward to the long flight, but I've got several books to read and of course my DS games.

Our itinerary will begin in Beijing and we will travel south to Shanghai visiting Zhengzhou, Kaifeng (the Disney World of China with an historical bent) and Xian (terracotta soldiers) among other cities. Of course we will see the usual tourist sites in each city.

As you can see, Baby Bear has is back pack and is ready to go. For those that don't know Bear's story...he has been on every trip that I have taken in the last 25 plus years. He has even slept with a few of you. Bear was a gift to me as a traveling companion when my husband couldn't accompany me on a trip..and the rest they say is history...in the making

  1. Good luck to the 'gang of four' as you embark on your ChinaGroveWalk. And good luck also to the Chinese officials, educators, and merchants that you will encounter! : ) I'm looking forward to reading your blog and seeing updates on your travels and adventures. All the best...
