Awesome trip I've just given myself a pleasant little Christmas gift. I've spent the last while living vicariously through your wonderful coverage of your great adventure. I kept putting off reviewing all of your blogs on purpose, and I'm glad I did. My next treat to myself will be in a few months. It sounds like you're having a wonderful time, and sharing it with others. I want to wish you safe and happy travels, and most importantly Merry Christnas and a Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas! Kathie/Jordan, I am sure you are receiving many, many emails from people like me who are living vicariously through your wonderful travel blog. I actually have printed some of the blogs and taken them to my mother, who is also a travel bug but not able to do so anymore. she loves hearing your detailed descriptions of places and then goes and looks them up on the computer. It's hard to beleive you have been gone six months now!
It is almost Christmas here and the weather, while chilly (-13 to -4), is still nice and crisp and clear. The office is deserted today and I plan only to do my yearly clean.
I wish both of you a Merry Christmas!
Don't know how I missed this one! FANTASTIC photos... and you got to spend the night there! It must have been amazing to see them so close for so long. :D
Hi Guys! I can't believe you've been in China for three months already! Time is flying by.
Your pictures bring back memories of my trip to Hong Kong in '07. The shopping part was fun but we couldn't wait to move on to the next stop.
Hope you guys are enjoying yourselves. Keep the blog posts coming!

Hello Kathie and Jordan! My name is Patricia Dinsmore and I am in the process of setting up a travel blog for me and my family. I am an ESL teacher from Pennsylvania who is currently living in Costa Rica with my husband Bob and our soon to be 16 year old son Jacob. We will be moving to China in 4 weeks so I can teach English at a language school, called First Leap, in Anhui China in Hefei. I came across your blog and noticed that you are actually visiting the Anhui Province and just thought I would say "Hello!" Hope you are having a great time in Asia and we look forward to being there soon ourselves!
suzhou. my chinese home town hey, I lived in Suzhou for over a year. I love it, in fact I'm going back next week. actually, there are some very relaxing places there. Warning, don't go to the end of the river in Luzhi. but also a very lovely little place.
catching up to your tour thru mom ann those are great photos and meeting jackie chan what a bonus. glad all is well with your trip. we enjoyed china when we went as well , but that was 16 years ago or so. so keep enjoying the trip. travel safely. always good to check up on your next adventure
love to you both cousin val and bill desrosiers
poop Funny about the kid pooping! When I told my dad we were trying to potty train Nolan, my dad said that in China, in his day, they never had to do diapers because they just sent the kids out onto the street to poop... guess some people still adhere to that, lol. Eeeww.
Hi!
Welcome to our travelblog page. We initally called ourselves "AfricaBound" because we spent a year traveling around Africa from August 2007 to August 2008. At that time, little did we even think that we could go on another extended trip. Somehow through much perseverance and determination we were able to save up for yet another extended trip, this time as sort of a honeymoon. Our current itinerary has us traveling from July 2010 until December 2011 through Central Asia, China, New Zealand, Australia and then back up to SE Asia, Nepal, India and then finally Japan.
