If you've counted WWBGD and I in that number,,,,the number sounds good....
OTOH: if you've not counted us.....:(

Will plan to join you all at GH Shanghai on Friday nite if ANA gets us to PVG as promised...
Best wishes, Dave

Possibles:

None yet (or everyone else.)

Sunday, after lunch, Mad4Miles and I are heading out to Hangzhou, staying at the new Hyatt there. I have to leave PVG Monday at 5:15pm, so a day trip and overnight. A Hangzhou mini-DO?

Looks like we'll be 14 on Friday night :)

GK or Rob - any chance of bringing the list forward more often (I had to go digging for this) or include it on the site (less likely with GK's pre-Do travel schedule). Thanks.

WHAT: a day trip to Hangzhou with overnite stay at the new Hyatt on the lake;
WHERE: A short train ride west of Shanghai;
WHY: because it's there, Mad4miles suggested it and I don't have the time to go to Bejing; and
HOW: we are taking the train out there on Sunday. I return Monday afternoon to PVG and Mad4Miles returns Tuesday.

Why the headcount Debbie ? Are you bringing us gifts ?

am considering a new venue for sat night dinner, as mntblue went to BaoLuo and is worried the exotic dishes might not appeal to our group.. i'll check some other sources and see what else comes up, but want to keep it shanghainese..

how about the ruijin park 小南国 (xiaonanguo)? since you seem be inclined to hit the town afterwards, the location can't be beat.

visa received!
 
OK, visa is in hand, my last pending upgrade cleared, I am ready to go! :)
But I am curious, though. Is there some significance to putting the visa on page 25 of a brand new 48 page passport? :confused:

Based in Houston. They received my passport yesterday; it has already been Fedexed back this morning. Cost some money, cost NO time!

Is that the middle of the passport? (ie, where the seams are)

yes. So they put the visa on the page where the seams are?
Is that because it would be easier to keep the passport open when the visa is glued in?

Thousand apologies!
 
Have been dragging my feet, (well, foot, literally. Had a sports related knee injury earlier this year.) still would like to go. However, it'll have to be a last minute run. Since I already got the week freed up, if not Shanghai, may just hop on the flight to the nearest available DO...

Sorry. :(

that was my guess.
