Final preparation

Well I have now left Tulpy behind. The district is in good hands. I must focus on last minute details. Do I have everything? What did I forget? Yes I have completed my taxes. My luggage is 43 lbs and my other bag is 37 lbs. I am almost to the point where I just have to wait till I depart. Oh well, my typical rush to wait !!!! I read my book to a second grade class today. They wanted to go along. I am anxious to get to my final destination and when I see the Great Wall I think I will lose my breath..... I am sure it is breath taking. I have been contacted by my friends in china and I have dent to them several comments as I am asked to speak during there flag raising ceremony . I am honored they asked me. I hope my limited intellect meets their expectations. More to come. Ed
