Working in China...the details are starting to roll in

It's official. I finally got some details on the kind of work I'll be doing in China. I'll be working with the Chinese Academy of Urban Planning's Water Resource and Environment Institute based in Beijing on a water system planning project for Miyun County. I still don't know what I'll actually be doing for them, but at least I know I'll be in Beijing and I'll be working on water issues, so I'm very excited about that. I'll keep you all posted as I hear more news about the assignment.

A journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step...

And a trip around the world begins with a ticket to China. Yes, that's right folks, Andrea and I have finally bought our tickets to Beijing which will be the first leg on our trip around the world. After way too many hours researching flights and possible. options, Andrea in all her wisdom suggested we just by the ticket to Beijing and the ticket home so that we could concentrate on more important matters at hand, like trying to graduate in June. Once things get settled down we'll work on the full itinerary for our trip and fill you in on all the details. As of now we hope to hit up China, for at least 2 months, then make it over to India where Heidi will join us as we travel all over India and Nepal then fly over to London and explore a bit of Europe before heading back to LA in time for Christmas. Stay tuned for more details, and better yet, maybe we can see you somewhere along the way ;-)
