The short version: I am back in the good ole USA.
For those of you who guessed I was in PRC... good on you!
9 days... Beijing, and Shanghai mostly... a couple of smaller towns as well. I won't bore you with the 500 photographs I took... I encourage all of you to travel while you can. I know many that have told me that they would travel when they retired, and now that they are retired they find that their health, or their wallets are inadequate to achieve that goal.
With no shame whatsoever, I will endorse the outfit responsible for my tour.
Their website is Chinaspree.com. Check out the SPECIALS tab for pricing and dates.
The low price will astound you.
Airfare from and to the USA,
9 day tour of Beijing and Shanghai,
great side excursions ( at slight extra cost, I recommend them all ) ...
FOUR star hotels,
and
at least half the meals are included,
the full time services of an English speaking guide,
and domestic airfare and bus transportation while in-country.
The only thing not included, is your Chinese Visa. It costs a salty $140 each... The tour service will obtain it for you for an additional $40 admin fee. (Recommended if you are not based in Washington DC like I am... I visited the Chinese Embassy personally to get our Visas.
If you have any questions about the trip, I will be glad to answer them.
