China trip planning


Carlos and I are really getting into planning the details of our trip to China.  We plan to travel from DC to Beijing some time around the 23-25 November and stay in the city for about a week seeing the sites and getting acclimated to a new country and time zone (to be coherent for our seminars and interviews).  From Beijing, we travel to Kunming and onward to Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical  Garden near Menglun. 

This weekend we picked up a couple of really nice travel guides (one for Beijing and another for southwestern China) and a little pocket guide to Mandarin.  I am excited to look through these books and make more solid travel plans.  We are also getting our visas in order and we should be booking our flights very soon -- things take a while dealing with administrators at XTBG!
