I'll get into the "why" of going to China later... here is our overall plan for the trip.
It starts with a quick trip to Chicago. There I'm meeting up with Vicky and Brandon. Vicky is my girlfriend and Brandon is her best friend's 12 year old son. Yes, this trip is part vacation, part youth adventure & cultural exchange - for both the youth and the adults. In addition to Vicky & Brandon, Tiger (age 14, Vicky's nephew) will be joining us once we reach China. Together, we'll do a grand tour of the southeastern part of the country.
From Chicago, we fly into Hong Kong and then onto Guangzhou which is Vicky's home city. We'll spend a short time there where we'll meet up with Tiger and get to meet Vicky's family. Then we'll fly to Chongquing where we'll catch a cruise on the Yangtze river down through the gorges and tour the new Three Gorges Dam before finishing at Yichang.
After the cruise, we'll fly to Shanghai for a bit to see this impressive city. Then I think we catch a train to Hangzhou where we'll spend a bit of time at lakeside resort. A flight back to Guangzhou for a bit more family time and then we're off to Hong Kong (staying at Disney hotel, of all places) so we're ready for our flight back from Hong Kong to Newark New Jersey.
It should be an incredible experience!
PS - If successful, this will be posted by Danielle who has agreed to receive posts and update the blog in case I can't access Blogger while in China.
