Why Am I Going to China?

I sent along the link to the blog to some family and friends, last night & woke up to a lot of emails asking various questions, so rather than individually responding to each of you, I thought I'd address them here...


Most of the questions are about with whom I am traveling and why China?


I'm traveling with the Krinskys, my friend Lauren and her parents. For those of you who have known me for a long time, you know her. I've traveled with her family to places near and far, several trips around the states, to Colorado, Wyoming, Hawaii, Washington, and a few times to New York before I moved here. After high school we traveled to England/Ireland together and after college we went on a tour of the east coast of Australia.


So, for our 30th birthdays--last summer, Lauren's parents offered us a trip, anywhere in the world. We had some trouble deciding, sometimes the most open-ended questions are the hardest to answer. So we ended up deciding to tag along on with her parents and some of their friends. Should be an amazing time!
