As I've settled into routine life here I have allowed myself to think about traveling. My first trip...back home!!! Yes! I have a plane ticket back home on Dec. 18th. It will be a very long travel day as I believe I have a 9 hour layover in Denver (Denver friends...don't you think this would be a great opportunity to come see me :-) before my flight eventually will get me to Billings. I plan on spending the night in Billings and then heading back to eastern Montana with my parents to spend about 10 days there for Christmas. My plans for eastern Montana...catching up with family...enjoying my mom's home-made pickles and chicken fried steak...and of course...lots of Christmas movies :-)
Then on Dec. 29th I have a flight from Sidney, MT to Denver...wohoo! I'll be arriving in time to make the wedding reception of a friend on the 31st and hopefully do some good visiting and catching up with all of my friends and family there. (Sidenote: Would any friends like to be graced with my presence for a few days while I'm in Denver? I know you are all dying to say yes...???) My plans for Denver/Littleton...lots of fellowship, Solid Grounds, La Loma, and hopefully some Settler of Catan...big plans right?
I haven't booked my plane ticket back to Beijing yet...I've been dragging my feet and I'm sure they are going to come any day to my office and club me if I don't send over my requests soon...but I haven't decided exactly how much time I will need in Denver...or how much traveling I want to do when I get back to Beijing. I'm thinking about perhaps getting back to Beijing around the 10th or so and then doing some travel to Thailand, South Korea, Singapore, Japan...any other ideas? Really...Thailand is at the top of my list. Hong Kong is high on the list as well...but I could probably do that over a long weekend, so I might hold off on doing that one in January. If anyone knows of good places in these regions please let me know!
O.k. that's it for now. It is midterms week and everyone is stressed and busy here.
Zaijian,
Gary
