Tomorrow morning we fly to China for a trip of almost three weeks. The itinerary includes Beijing, the Great Wall, Xian (home of the terra cotta warriors), Lhasa, a six-day cruise on the Yangtze River, and Shanghai.
We will try to blog from the trip, assuming we can connect to the Internet, which is heavily restricted in China.
The full itinerary, if anyone is interested is here.

Have a wonderful time, Phil. Nancy and I are doing a Vikings River Cruise later this year, too. Doing the Paris/Normandy Beach trip with a few extra days in Paris prior to the boat ride.
Tibet! Now there’s a peak experience. Enjoy, and take pictures to share.
