G'day Carol,
Thanks for your e-mail. I was about to write to you and tell you about my experiences. I did know who you were when we spoke on the phone, I'm sorry if you got the impression that I did not.
Anyway, I would like to express my appreciation for your organizing of our trip. Everything went off as planned and we were extremely happy with the tour destinations, including the unexpected visits to a silk factory in Shanghai.
Your tour guides were excellent. Both Sandy in Chongqing and Kelly in Beijing were friendly, knowledgeable and had a good command of English so we lost nothing in the translation. I felt that without those two wonderful young ladies the sights would not have been as enjoyable as they were.
The drivers were great and how they managed to navigate through the traffic was a source of amazement.
As to the tour itself, all I can say is that it was wonderful. I have fallen in love with China and now must think about visiting other places in your country in the future.
I've still got to finalize my pictures and download them to my computer and when I have done so I will send you a couple.
Cheers,
Geoff
