Trip to China


Hi everyone - I'm getting ready for my trip to China. It is very exciting and I hope that I will be able to blog from China to let you know how I am doing and also to let you see a photo or two of my travels.
I have all my reservations, my passport, my visa and everything that I think I need. Since our first stop (after leaving NYC) is Tokyo, I have ordered some Japanese yen. You cannot get currency for mainland China before you get there. Luckily we are traveling with Pacific Delights Tours and someone will meet us at the Beijing airport when we get ther and take us to the hotel. There, I understand, I can change money.
I'm taking this trip mainly because I want to see the baby pandas which I will do in Chengdu at the end of the trip. I have never been to Asia before so I don't know what to expect. Stay tuned for my experience.
