Hopefully the link above will take you to the China tour and conference schedule. It is a PowerPoint presentation so I was unable to paste it directly here.

Next week new adventure

Nancy and I are off to China January 30 for a little over two weeks. Once again Nancy will be attending the International Camellia Society's biannual meeting while I gaze around wide-eyed (one of my very special talents). We will be taking our travel computer and hopefully we can resurrect this blog while we are there. Below is the conference schedule. I will be posting the schedule for the pre and post conference tours as soon as the boss shares them with me.
