Hi Liz.. I'm the other Newbie on this trip and nerrrrvous too but am sure we'll all be ok, hopefully!! I'm also doing the river cruise... life jacket to the ready - ha ha. Really excited about seeing the Pandas! No idea how much spending pocket money to take, so anyone with any rough ideas, I'm all ears.

See you at Gatwick - I'll be heading up the morning of the flight... a lonesome hobo hoping to return with some new friends! Ahhh!

China here we come - how VERY exciting! Mel

Hi Alan

That. Sounds great, I just couldn't get more time off work!

Any tips on how much cash I should take?

Starting to get organised at last, you?

I searched a lot of sights for tips and most where saying £500 was enough and a lot said you may bring some back. You can use credit cards in big stores etc and if you take some GBP hotels can change it as well.

I purchased £500 in Yuan last week 😃

Hi Mel

Getting excited now too. According to the post office you can take a max of 6000 yuan, about £600.

Have you booked any optional excursions?

See you soon!!
