Have you ever caught yourself saying something you would never do again and it's not long afterward that you are doing it again? I found that has been me in the world of travel.
Our first trip to China in 2015 was one of our most exciting trips we had ever been on. We took in a lot in our first visit and I felt comfortable leaving on that jet plane home telling everyone in our group we will never return to China as there is too many other destinations we have not seen. No sooner had I shared our China experience with friends that a second trip was planned for 2016 with a group twice the size as that of 2015.
Again boarding our plane home this last May 2016 I felt very comfortable letting everyone know this is going to be our last trip to China. We have so many more destinations to visit in this world.
Well it happened again. When a great deal comes along everyone wants to be a part of it. So we are planning a third trip to China this May 2017 with more friends and new friends to meet.
We got in at the right time when China increased the value of the Chinese visa to be valid for not 1 year but 10 years. So no need to reapply for a visa. The price is unbelievable now, but as China grows to become a popular travel destination that low price may no longer be available in the future. We are able to see a authentic China before tourism changes the culture, people and scenery. See link to China Again for more info. China may be one of the last frontiers of travel!
THIS REALLY IS MY LAST TRIP TO CHINA!
If you really want something, you will make the time. If it isn't that important, you will make excuses. Make time for Travel this year!
