camwynHaving every hope that the mystery virus will not turn into the 1918 Flu, Round II, I am still going ahead with my plans for the trip to China. Plane fares are still the same, so far as orbitz.com can see. I'll keep an eye out for specials just in case.
I did, however, check my account balance at the credit union. I set up a vacation account there a few weeks back and asked them to take $50 per paycheck. So far, between the paycheck stuff and one transfer I made from my regular account, I have $240 in there. That translates out to all the youth hostels plus enough for train fare to Xi'an. Possibly even train fare from Xi'an to Wuhan. Go, me... It can also be translated into 1/5 the price of my plane ticket, but I prefer to think of it as lodging money and start on saving for the plane now.
Now as long as the plague goes away, and as long as we don't go to war with a psychotic nation that has nothing to lose, and as long as the President doesn't get me stoned by angry residents of other countries... I'm well on my way!
