We leave for China tomorrow!!!!! To say I am excited that it's finally here is an understatement. We have been planning this trip since last August, made the final tweaks to it in November, and paid cash for it in January. It is the trip of a lifetime for us, and I just know it will be one of the highlight when I'm 60 and talking to my grandchildren about the we did when their mom was their age.
Some folks have asked what all are we doing, so here is a quick rundown:
Beijing for 5 Days: Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, a Chinese Kung Fu Show at Red Theatre, climbing the China Great Wall - Badaling section, the Ming Tomb, Summer Palace, and the Pandas in Beijing Zoo.
Xi'an for 3 days: Terracotta Soldiers, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the City Wall, Cantonese Cooking Class, Islamic Great Mosque, and the Hanyangling Museum.
Lhasa, Tibet for 3 days: the Tibet Museum, Carpet Factory, the Jokhang Temple, Barkhor street market, Tibetan Traditional Medicine Hospital, Potola Palace, Sera Monastery, and the Norbulingka Park.
Shanghai for 2 days: the Shanghai Museum, the Yuyuan Garden, Nanjing Road and the famous Bund area, and the Portman Acrobatic Show at the Shanghai Centre Theatre.
Hong Kong for 3 days: Star Ferry, Victoria's Peak, Avenue of the Stars, Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, Symphony of the Stars, Hong Kong DisneyLand.
Needless to say, we are going to need a vacation from our vacation.
