Hi Lan! I wish I had known about this trip earlier because I(and a friend)definitely would have been interested in this trip. We are both teachers and have to make arrangements well in advance for an extended absence. If he does it again next year I would really like to know by mid-summer if at all possible. I am dying to do the mainland and can't think of a better way to do it for the first time. Also, I noticed the accomodations he chose and they are ones that I would have chosen myself. Keep me in mind for future reference. Thanks, Kathy
