We are going to go to Shanghai for two days then we'll go to Chengdu for about 3 days,after that we will hopefully be able to go to Tibet for a week to 10 days.My cousin Katie is coming with us and traveling the whole way!And I'm just thinking about the planes to China, because if I do I get too hipper! I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!!

Before we leave

I have to say...I never made much time for our blog in our previous trips. The girls usually are the ones to blog but since it was hard for me to sleep (shouldn't I be packed by now, did I buy the right medicine, is it crazy to take coffee with me), I thought I would restart our family blog. I look at some of our old entries. I loved reading what the girls were thinking and experiencing in our previous trips. I miss Chinese food, the energy of the country, the optimism. Most of all, I miss and look forward to concentrated family time, being with Jeff and the kids 24-7. I am also excited that Katie will be with us. She will make an excellent travel partner and we are all so excited that she will be with us.

She arrives in Lincoln tomorrow and we are all thinking about what we will do the one day we are together in the US.

We are traveling in two groups. Jeff and Hana leave early Monday morning and then Katie, Julia and I by 10:30 am. In short, it was the best way for us all to arrive on the same day without paying a fortune.

Look out China, here we come!
