Can't believe i JUST found this thread! Lately I always seem to be late to the party! I was so focused on the Dragon threads, I forgot about precruise seamails!! Andi, thank you so much for bringing back all those sensational memories and sharing your experiences! Your boutique hotel in Beijing sounds outstanding! One of my favorite pictures of our time in Beijing is of me almost falling off the tobogan at the Great Wall! Such fun to read your seamail. Again, many thanks! Bonnie
