Just wondering if you posted your "panda experience" anywhere? I was eagar to hear all about it and I would have posted on the Asia board but not sure you would have caught it there. Any photos of those gorgeous creatures?

Just wanted to add my welcome back, Lynn! We've missed you. Please tell us about the pandas when you have time!

Thanks for ringing my doorbell and welcoming me home, everyone. There will be a report with photos within a week on the Asia forum and I'll stick a link on this thread too.

I am missing the pandas, but know they are enjoying their mountainous home and bamboo. It was a great experience with those amazing creatures.

Welcome back, Lynn!
I thought you'd been to Africa but I take it you went to China?
I'm looking forward to your trip report and photos.

Lynn - That looks totally amazing. Loved the photos - I can't believe you got to play with the pandas! I left a few comments on the pics. Thanks for sharing. I will read the report more carefully later.

I also posted a reply on the Asia board.

Just amazing, Lynn! What an experience! Thanks for the great report and pics.
The photo of the panda chomping on bamboo belongs in National Geographic. Just wonderful!

Lynn,
Karibu nyumbani. It looks like you’re interacting with furry creatures all over the globe! I’m seriously envious. Thanks for a very informative report and pictures so cute that they’re almost unreal.

Lynn,

What a treat to look at those pictures. Loved the young pandas on the platform/tree. Enjoyed your report, especially liked your "cleaning muscles" comment!
