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?

Carla

Hi Lynn,

You back yet?

Hari

I just found an old thread and think she gets back today?

Ding dong? Anyone home? (I promise I'm not a stalker)

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

Sharon

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.

WELCOME BACK LYNN!!
I can't wait to hear all about the Pandas, they are on my 'to do list' too (along with polar bears in Churchill!!)

Welcome back; I'm looking forward to your report.

OnlyMe,

For the Churchill polar bears, thit cho and I have gone to see them--not together.

The panda report is complete.

Lynn,

For some reason, i was unable to advance the slide show. It is kinda stuck on the first picture........

Will read the report now.

Hari

Lynn,

Awesome report!!! Sounds like a fantastic trip. Thanks for sharing.

What is the closest major city/airport to the Panda reserve?

Hari

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.

Sharon

Hi Lynn,

Sounds like a really marvelous experience. Enjoyed the pictures very much. Thanks.

Such large canine teeth for vegetarians?!?

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!
