From the time we get to Beijing until we end up in St. Petersburg, we will be escorted from place to place with all reservations already made and confirmed. All meals are included. A lot of the time will be spent sitting or sleeping on the train. We will be traveling with two roll-on suitcases - one for clothes and one for cameras. If we canceled the trip at this point (which may still happen), I know he would feel worse about just sitting around listening to his heart beat. We have appointments with the heart doctor and the lung doctor tomorrow and we will know more tomorrow afternoon. I'm in the kitchen, too, making lebkuchen - a Christmas tradition for us. Thanks!
