Planning the trip

Well, after six months of planning our trip to China, and only six days to go before I leave, it is difficult to think that the Swine Flu could jeopardize the trip. We will find out this week just how bad this is going to get. China announced today that they are getting a little tougher against people traveling into China. We'll see.

Our plan is for me to teach broadcast journalism at Shanghai International Studies University for four weeks. Lisa and our kids will join me for a tour of Shanghai, Xian, and Beijing. We are so fortunate to have this opportunity.

  5. Thor! Love the apartment! Do you push the beds together to make it longer? That's what Uncle Bill used to do- remember he was 6'7"! LOVE the food pics! That soup looks incredible! You can have the most wonderful blood orange juice in Italy- it's my favorite, Jann Gates and Monique are also following you! Awaiting more news from the Thor Gazette! You should write a book after this journey!
    Best, and go have another day at Dragonfly!
