Getting prepared for departure

I thought it would be fun to set up a blog for our trip to China. For those of you who don't know, Randy and I are leaving on Thursday, September 4th to head to Beijing for two weeks. Dave Wagner, Randy's best friend, is competing in the Paralympics. He is ranked number one in his division of wheelchair tennis and is shooting for two gold medals - both in singles and doubles.

Today I bought electrical converters, inflatable pillows for the airplane, those weird ear plug things that my mom always liked that are supposed to help with pressure, and a case for our laptop. I have figured out our housesitting and Tango has a place to stay. I got our seat assignments set through the airlines. What else? Oh yes, my favorite...I bought another tour book about Beijing! I love my guidebooks!

Stay tuned for updates as I figure out this blog thing!
