China Trip - Post #0: T minus 7 days

1 week to go before my 2 week tor of China.

This will be the first escorted tour I've ever been on - so I am curious about the experience. I've been on many excursions during cruises, but this is the first land based trip (although there is a river cruise and many flights between cities).

My first stop will be Beijing, which I visited once before, but this will be my first visit to the Great Wall :)
