Only 4 more days before we start our China adventure. Last night we had a tutorial from Karen and her Mom about certain customs, i.e.eating, greeting people, positioning to pick up the check, gifting to the family members, etc. Karen's family has graciously made many arrangements for us, including a translator and getting local cell phones so we can reach one another while there! This will help so much in our being able to explore the area without depending on Karen. From a little past experience, the language and alphabet barrier can be a real challenge!
We are all wondering how little Jack will do on this very long, 20 hour plane trip. He's a happy and very busy little guy, so I'm sure he will keep each of us from getting too bored!
Tonight, it's back to packing and sorting and organizing what is going and what is staying. The weather will be in the 40's and 50's, so we will need to layer up and down accordingly. With travel planned into the mountains, it will be chilly - however, likely to not be snowing as it is doing right now.
