HI, I have just booked to go to China over Xmas.. I am told there are about 22 people on the tour.. who are you? Are you going to the pre-tour get-together? This is my very first time on a holiday alone.. I hope it won't be lonely.. I have looked at the website and feel assured it will be a very wonderful experience with a group of like-minded folk.. I am optimistic and look forward to hearing who I will be sharing this wonderful experience with. I can't wait!!
