Preparing for Asia

---

Preparing for a 78 day cruise from Beijing to London is interesting but having spent 136 days on Regent cruise lines previously makes the job much easier. We know where the laundry is so we don’t have to take as many clothes. The inoculation clinic only had to give us a few shots. Our great travel agent makes life easier by facilitating the visa visiting requirements. And our wonderful neighbors ensure the safety of house and pet. This time we shipped our bags ahead to ensure their accurate and timely arrival. We depart next week and hope the TSA folks are on the job and processing rapidly. Picking up United’s overseas flight in Newark we trust business class will make the trip bearable and that it’s not too cold in China. We’re looking forward to traveling the first leg with friends from here so it should be fun.
