Leaving the country

By the way, we are leaving in the morning for an impromptu (as in booked last week) trip to China.  It is a four day package where you get the flight, hotel, meals, and tours for one price.  The itinerary includes trips to see the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, a Chinese opera, an acrobatics show, the Forbidden City, lots of shopping, and a dinner including Beijing duck.  So, I will be absent from the blogging world for a few days, but Lord willing, I will have some great posts with some great adventures to report when we return.
