[OKW Lover]

After all you can't start organizing your stuff for a trip too early, right?

Indeed. I'll be looking forward to reading of @WebmasterMike's preparations. In addition to camera stuff, there's also internet and potentially VPN's.

This looks great.

I was also blown away by the castle shown on that AWFUL opening ceremony show.

The one on the Disney Channel? Awful. Absolutely no need for that commentator.

How many are going to study tai chi before this trip? Planning on joining others for morning exercises while on the trip?

The Temple of Heaven is one big park with the Hall of Prayer for a Good Harvest in the middle of it all. There are a few other monuments around the park, but by far the best part was just seeing everyone out enjoying themselves was wonderful. Over the last few years I've been on a nerdy mission to see many of the monuments that inspired the World Showcase pavilions. This was by far the coolest. Absolutely amazing the lengths the imagineers went to copy the Hall of Prayer. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hmmmm...that list of prohibited articles means that I'll be packing lightly for this trip. I'll have to leave my manuscript and ham radio at home. [sad face]

 

[OKW Lover]

Well, I guess I'm leaving my hand-held radio at home for this trip. Funny since ham radio has been legal in China for something like 20 years now.

I wonder if the DIS is included.

So I was looking up airfare because I need a new trip to plan and am confused. When I searched on Delta for a flight to Tokyo, then Tokyo to Hong Kong, and then Shanghai back home, Delta came up with nothing at all. Then I looked on Travelocity and searched for flights to Hong Kong and then from Shanghai back home, and it was $300 more than the results it gave me if I threw Tokyo into the mix. Very strange.

(I was looking at this October, just to get an idea)

Interesting Laurie. I haven't played with it yet myself because I'm working on some intervening trips. I'm not sure at all what routes Delta flies to Asia, or any of its partners.

The issue seemed to be the Hong Kong to Tokyo leg of the trip. When I was on Travelocity, it did pick up some Delta flights (although they were thousands more than United or American) for the arrival or return but I could not get the whole itinerary on the Delta site. I'll need to play some more. Most of the options routed us through Dallas, Chicago or Detroit.

Laurie, have you checked United? We have a couple of code share partners that fly into Houston and using dummy dates, I've been able to find some realllly good mileage deals using United's codeshare partners out of Houston. And, if using miles, you can book miles one way and use cash on the other leg.

Christy,

I'll try them next. Brian likes to fly Delta because he has some preferred card through them, but that may not be an option this trip. I thought it was weird that it was actually cheaper to add in another leg for Tokyo than without it, but I'm not exactly an expert on the Asian air market.
