One week till we leave

This is the first post of our China trip blog. I will try to keep everyone updated as we make final preparations and throughout the trip.

Last night we read through a lot of the documentation that came from the travel agent. There is a lot to comprehend. This is a new experience. Trying to plan for two weeks is not easy. Especially when your not sure of what to expect. We want to be prepared but not over pack. I'm sure we will be adding and deleting items as the week goes along.

Today we are going to get all are paperwork in order. We need to make copies of our passport, itinerary, emergency contacts and airline ticket information so we have backups if needed. I think we will get the suitcases out and measure them to make sure they meet the airline requirements. We are also going to start laying out our cloths and anything else we plan on taking that we won't need during the week. The plan is to keep things to a minimum. We'll see how well we follow the plan as the week goes on.

Having this holiday weekend is a blessing. I think next week will fly by. The excitement is starting to build.
