Arrival in Dalian.

China continues to impress (except for that smoky airport part). Smooth flight on a practically new plane took just about an hour to get to Dalian. Another beautiful new airport. The hotel is very new and ultra-modern. I'm on the 21st floor and can see a small harbor with sailboats just below in the bay. And... there have been fireworks going off over the bay for the last 25-30 minutes. Too bad I'm only here a few days - this place looks really nice. I'll know more tomorrow morning during my daylight tour. My translator, Amy, has already called to confirm. :-)

P.S. All luggage arrived intact. I'm home free now!

Well, well my dear friend! You have done it again... I am EXTREMELY jealous (in a good way)! I hope this has been one of the best.

Take care and come home safely! These pics and stories are simply amazing!

Well, Tonya, you have revealed what needs to be your second career - travel writer!! I have NEVER had an interest in travelling to China, but, because of your details and humor, I want to! Be safe, and keep being as adventurous as you are. Talk to you soon!
