When people post on one of these forums about yearning to go to Disney but they can't afford it and what should they do, I always think to myself the first thing to do is to stop reading on here so they don't fuel their desire. That's the long way of saying, why am I reading about your amazing trip?!!?
I'm trying SO hard not to think about the China trip, and reading your report is doing nothing to dissuade me. Somehow I keep reading
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an extensive report.
Daisy was one of our guides (Christian the other) on our trip last year - the same one that @Cousin Orville was on. Tell her that Jeff & Val say Hi if you get a chance.
We also found Bruce to be a wonderful local guide. Seeing Hong Kong from way up high was really impressive.
Glad you enjoyed the restaurant. It is quite beautiful. However, I think this is where I decided I really didn't care for Peking Duck. Not sure what I was expecting but it left me flat.
We loved the Rosewood. Absolutely beautiful hotel.
We didn't get blue skies on our visit. The whole time we were in Beijing they told us it was fog. This was during the Chinese Communist Party convention and we were a bit restricted on some of the tours. Still, I couldn't believe how huge the Forbidden City is. Wow!

Yes! So true and made me chuckle. China is not even on my list, but looking at those terrific Great Wall pics made me want to go.
I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find great blog about the joys of tent camping . . .
I love the Terra Cotta warriors pix! Would love to see them in their original place. I have seen a couple that we’re on loan to a museum but seeing the whole of them would be amazing! Living vicariously for now! When I plan my China trip you’ll have to help me hack the airfares!
You are always very helpful!
I just showed my DS your pictures. His response “How rich ARE these people? “
Well, he saw the plane pics and made some assumptions. Lol. He knows traveling costs money and we use “coupons”and “points”and save our money to vacation.Aaawww! Tell him not rich but solidly middle class with a paid off mortgage and no kids to put through college so that gives us more to play with. We still work crazy hours 6-7 days a week though. Work hard then play hard. But just like his awesome mom @CyndiLouWho we couldn’t do all this cool stuff if it wasn’t for travel hacking
