Ok guys, here is the rundown of what we will be doing each day:

Stay at Zhaolong Hotel (3 nights)
Aug. 24-Aug. 25 Tours to see the Great Wall, Summer Palace and Forbidden City. Acrobatic show on Friday afternoon. (Can you even believe that we will actually see all of these places?)
Aug. 26 Morning Beijing to Guangzhou
Stay at the White Swan hotel -12 nights- My goodness! This is a long time to stay somewhere. Hopefully I will make some friends with the hotel staff!

We can also chose to visit the orphanage, which we will definitely do, but I am not sure what day that will happen. I have a "travel call" with my coordinator this Friday to go over everything. I am hoping that we will meet up with a few families at the end at the White Swan hotel. For now, that's what I know!

What an exciting schedule!!!
Me again....
I was looking at your schedule and loved the comment about making friends with the hotel staff. And you know what - you will! They have staff on each floor at the WS, waiting for you when you get off the elevator, directing you to your room, calling an elevator for you, etc. They will know you after Day 1! It'll be fun! Enjoy!
