Have a great trip. When my girlfriend came to visit me here in Canada, a long month ago, she got word her father was in the hospital in serious condition. These are just things that happen, you can't change it. You carry on and enjoy every day. Good luck.

Planning update, she has an extra day off when meeting me at the airport in Beijing, so we're gonna stay in Beijing until Monday. I hope changing my reservations is not going to be a nightmare. I am rather glad though she knew I was hoping to get to see a little of Beijing before we head south to Handan. Her mom has been peeking at me on the webcam chats over her shoulder and has made a couple comments I understand and a couple I have not the foggiest of concepts about. She smiles when she makes the comments I understand. Apparently mom likes me over the computer, find out next week if she does for real. Her dad looked one time, but he is indifferent yet. Probably the whole "westerner" issue that I am prepared to get the brunt of. I know her brother is probably not even going to give me the time of day.
As for my dad, they're moving forward with a couple more tests and then surgery. They think they caught it soon enough before it spreads. Mom told me the same thing I was thinking, what am I supposed to do but offer support? They both told me get on the plane and go enjoy myself. I think mom finally caught on to the whole concept, dad has too many other issues to worry about right now. We are not planning a wedding on this trip, note, I said "not planning" so there should be no issues. For now, I've a boatload of my own stress to deal with before the trip. Two parties owe me checks for services, not huge, but while not being Scrooge, I've got to run them down so I have no loose ends when I leave. I know the one well enough he will try and say he paid me if I do not collect now. Who said accountants love tax season? No, we love the money from tax season...

Less than 12 hours until wheels up, bags are packed, gonna take a nap, get up, shave and all. Get a little breakfast and then catch my ride to the airport, next post will be from Beijing.
