After many attempts at trying to upload the travelblog, I have come to learn that China has opted to restrict some internet sites such as Facebook etc. It looks as if I will be delayed in posting any of our China ports until we get to another location!! Loyal followers, forgive the delay, as I have not yet figured out how to override this restriction:)! You ‘techies’ are probably all out there saying just “do this….” but I can’t hear you over here…thus, a frustrating delay from my end!
It isn’t even time yet to apply the “23 day Pacific crossing” as an excuse…..that’s not ATLEAST for another two weeks:)!!!!

Back to the journey at hand, we took a moment for some self reflection to more deeply value and appreciate our every day freedoms!!

Our stop in Shanghai has left us with only a few hours to tour! The good news is that we are currently scheduled to be back again:)! We managed to ‘catch a ride’ to the last subway stop and then take an hour subway ride into People’s Square of Shanghai!! Even though everything is conveniently given bilingually with English as the second language….it sure was nice when the young college age English speaking Chinese gal graciously assisted in lining up our yuan in the correct direction to be able to activate the subway ticket purchase:)!!!

I have been trying to post for weeks….so here it goes!

Hopefully, I will be able to catch you all up on our two weeks in China once we reach the Japan ports:)!
