Thought I would start a new thread for TAJ. I am in Shanghai today doing a little site inspection trip in China before flying to Bangkok to meet the ship.

Nice flight over but we crashed last night and slept about 11 hours. Doing some running around today, going to a Pearl Market about 30 minutes out of town to check it out for Pagoda in 2014. Never been to this one before. Cant shop or I will have to drag things around all over China and trying to travel light with just one or two nights in each hotel.

Little chilly here and light drizzle tomorrow it is supposed to be bright sunshine. However tomorrow we go to a town called Hangzhou that is supposed to be the prettiest in China so I will hold the good weather for that adventure. We are going to see the newest laser light show that has been created by the man that did the Olympics in Beijing. Looking forward to that.

Be back later with more posts. Fascinated to see posts from the trip to Myramar that Andrea and Betty are on. This is a destination on my wish list. Got to fit in a visit there somehow!.

Some good sea mail coming your way in the next few weeks. We have some good posters onboard including Eugene and he always does a great job. Franck Galzy is on the ship as GM and I have not seen him for so long so that will be wonderful.
