Hello!!

Just thought I would say hello! We're also booked on the Epic China Trip. We're going on the Finnair flights with the group so hope that you all do find the group/hotel ok and that your flight does get in at the same time (fingers crossed for you!)

We are very excited for the Chinese adventure - especially the Panda Centre for me!!! The reviews on review centre and the pics look brill.

as anyone started to think about getting a visa for china and dare i say injections !!!!!!

Hi I'm Anna, Its nice to all start chatting before we embark on our Adventure. I am also booked on the Finnair flights from Heathrow so will be looking forward to meeting some of you hopefully in the Airport before we take off. As for Visa's and flights, the staff at the Adventure company have been really helpful with that and have sent a pile of paperwork to work through indicating all the stuff we need to apply for one. As far as injections are concerned they advise to have these about 8 weeks before you go, we will also need to take anti malarials but the good news is we dont need Yellow Fever! This will be my second holiday as a Solo traveller and really cant wait to meet you all. My last holiday was in Egypt and I had an absolutely fab time with the group of people I met on that trip. Highlights of this trip for me I think will be the amazing and varied food I will get to try, (I'm a total foodie) a revisit to Hong Kong which is out of this world and the people are amazingly friendly and the Yangste River cruise. I'm really sad but I love that HSBC advert with the cormorant fishing. Speak soon A.

glad to hear from you Anna - this will also be my second trip with the company - peru 2 years ago - the group of people i went with made the holiday - as for cormorant fishing - you need the to do the peru trip - they provided the evening meal on lake titicaca -

I'd rather eat one than cuddle one for £90. Apologies animal lovers-its just not me :)! Although I have to admit they did show them on a news story recently and they dont appear to be that cuddly. Its great news about the new direct flights- I was worried that I might end up spending 3 weeks in Helsinki instead. Well looking forward to meeting up. Barry mines a Corona with lime seeing as your already going to be there. Ha! Ha! Enjoy the wedding. A

Hi everyone, I was last to book this trip and can't wait to board plane in Amsterdam for Hong Kong, mine's a Corona too unless there's cider available. Anyone else on KLM flight apart from Claire and me?

See you all two weeks Monday!

Wookey
