Old "Bucket List" Completed ~ Now to start a New One

My "Bucket List" is now finished. Now if you haven't seen the movie "The Bucket List," with Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman .... put that on your list to see~

What I refer to as my Bucket List is a list of places on earth I really, really wanted
to see, with the GREAT WALL of CHINA being last. I never dreamed China would be available.

With China enjoying capitalism and many other freedoms plus doing so well, they proudly invite tourism to see what they have accomplished ...especially in the past 6 years...
we decoded it was time to go. It was a very good decision.

In the past, we've done plush tours meaning we didn't lift a bag and barely have to put the dinner napkin across our laps...we stayed at the very best and were coddled.
This time...I don't know what we were thinking to sign on for ADVENTURE TRAVEL.
How did I know this meant that we would see the their world from every view.
I've never walked so far, eaten so little, climbed so high, perspired so much, slept so hard...nor have I come home loving the people so much.

The bottom line, we had a BLAST!!!

Beijing tomorrow~
