To China for 2 weeks


April 10, Saturday
Yesterday involved 23 hours of travel from my home in San Diego to my hotel here in Shanghai. I flew to Los Angeles, then flew 12 hours to Tokyo and then 3 hours to Shanghai. Got some sleep at the proper time for my new time zone which is 16 hours ahead of Pacific Daylight Time. This morning I will fly 2 ½ hours to the city of Chongqing.
I’ll spend 2 nites in Chongqing and get on a 100 passenger riverboat Monday morning and spend 6 days cruising down the Yangtze River back to Shanghai. Then I will spend 5 days in Shanghai before I return home. The river cruise should be a nice way to see some of central interior China as well as the Three Gorges Dam.
