We go to the Orient
On August 17th we went on a 17 day escorted tour
to the Orient. After arriving at Tokyo's Norita airport, we were greeted
by the local tour representative. After the tour person located all the
people on the tour (16), we were bused to our hotel in Tokyo. There we
met Susan Weeks. She would be our tour guide for the whole trip. The tour
included five destinations: Tokyo, Beijing, China, Hong Kong, Bangkok,
Thailand, and Singapore. The people on the tour were Jean Beers from Greens
Fork, Indiana; Nadine Hahne from Dover Plaines, New York; Eileen McCue
from Staatstburg, New York; Judy Wirges from Hopewell Junction, New York;
Raki and David from South Brunswich New Jersy, Catherine Holmes from Glendora,
New Jersey; the Putcha family Ram, Vasundhara, Sarada and Veena from Livingston,
New Jersey; June Swenson from Garden Grove, California; Yuri and Nataly
Visman from Nazareth Illit, Israel and our tour director, Susan Weeks is
from San Francisco, California. It was a pleasure meeting and touring the
Orient with such a fine group of people. ---- As an old Chinese proverb
says, "When you look like your Passport picture it's time to go home.
