FEARS

I had an evening of: Why am I leaving my family? I will probably get sick halfway around the world! There will be nothing to eat that I feel safe about. I love being home! Why would I leave? This is my last trip across the ocean! And what about those bathroom stories? My head swirls with foul images! At least I am glad that my best friend is going with me, and anything that happens she will be there too.
At least this nightmareish feeling didn't last too long. The next morning I was excited and ready to go. I am in a surreal world, though, I cannot imagine that time is going to pass and I will really be in China!

Blogging to prevent Altzheimer's

Well, I have a lot to learn about this blogging. Other blogs are so creative that it makes me want to do this. Learning new things creates new synapses in the brain, they say, so this should help! It is like scrapbooking, but easily changed in format and colors. Well, I will get better at it all. I hope I can use this in China. The tour company- Explorica has a tour diary and will have pictures each day, if they can get on Internet.

Just a week until I leave for China!

I can't believe that a week from now I will be in the air and headed for China! I have packed and repacked, put a belt on my carry-on so it will stack on the other luggage, and now it is going to be the real thing!

This is the Imperial Palace that we will visit on Sunday. It was the home of the emperors, and of the last Empress.
