5 Days and Counting

How time has flown. Here it is Saturday night and just knowing that next Saturday we will be treking around Beijing is just amazing. We have been waiting so long for this trip it almost seems surreal that it is just around the corner. Everything is pretty much taken care of at this point, Alison's bag is packed, and we will attempt to get our bags semi packed tomorrow. We were thrown for a loop this morning when we saw that temp's in China will be much warmer than anticipated....I was just thinking yesterday as I was walking in 60 degree weather that it would be so nice if Beijing was not 12 below..low and behold it looks like it will be in the high 50's..gotta love it.
