Basically, try to arrive in BJ after the trees are fully bloomed, and all will be good.
OK, so if I go to SH first, maybe mid-April and BJ afterwards, that might work? If its the trees I'm thinking of, I can deal with the pollen, but I'd like to avoid (regular) wet weather or weather that causes dust/haze. (I know there's no guarantees, just trying to go for the best odds).
