Oh. My.

Somehow, in the last 24 hours, I've booked us a trip to China.

We're using a tour company two families we know have travelled with, and they already had a March break tour set up, which is when we were planning on going, so it was remarkably easy. But I'm still sort of stunned that this has taken substantially less time than booking our Disney trip this year did.

I'm also amused that Ros is far more excited about this trip than she was about the Disney trip. I really hope she does enjoy it in the end. (Positive side: there will be pictures with pandas! Baby pandas! Negative side: we have no idea if we'll be able to meet with her foster family, which she's really, really counting on in spite of the fact that we've been preparing her for the possibility of it not happening.)

Also, I'm now keeping my fingers very crossed that Mark Owen doesn't announce a tour for the two weeks in March that we'll be in China, because that is literally the only thing that will keep me from seeing him live.

It's going to be very cool. And this is my motivation to finally learn how to properly use my digital SLR camera. Fingers crossed on the Mark front. If he does tour on dates I can go, I'm probably going to end up in Manchester this spring!

If that happens, I hope I'm here and not in Portugal!!! I could even show you the houses we discussed when you wrote the Christmas fic.

I definitely hope you'll be there if I make it across the pond. Would love to take in Manchester with you, including those locations. (I'm working on a sequel to that story, so I might prod you about Manchester geography again soon.)
