Hi Jackie, I'm also going on 3rd May travelling from Heathrow. I'm doing the Yangtze add on and really looking forward to it. I think deciding how much money to take is difficult as all meals and excursions included. From what I understand looking at other posts for China we are on the go all the time, so don't think there will be much left for just wandering around!!! But am very excited to be going to China. May see you in the airport lounge. John B.
