Eschew:

No , I did not get Chronic Tendinitis from those repetitive keyboard strokes !!!

Iwish that is how I got it !!

I had hand surgery for Dupuytren's Contracture..and all the finger flexion exercises I had to do for months and months afterward , lead me to first get

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome ....and then this Chronic Tendinitis of the flexor tendons that run from my fingertips to their insertion about the elbow joint.

The Carpal Tunnel was so bad last July that I was thinking of cancelling my African Safari Trip !(But I did go !)

Yes, I want to see the Terra Cota Warriors in their "real" pits !!

Thanks for the information traveller69 :)

Traveller, thank you, I've bookmarked the page!

Percy, I hope you feel better!

Faina - you didn't say when your were going on your cruise. What ship are you going on? The ports sound very interesting. Is it time to say Bon Voyage yet?

LOL I wish! It will be August 12-23 (the cruise) we're coming to Copenhagen on Aug 9, GTG?

I would invite you along, but it looks now all but inside cabins are sold out. RCCL cruise, here it is

RCCL has only one such cruise this year.

Thanks for the update .. Percy. Hope you are getting better. W

Calgary is closest to me so I can plan a trip to take a peek when it's there. If not, Victoria is not too far away either. But it would be late 2011 or early 2012 when it gets there?

I saw the Petra exhibit a few years back in Calgary and the Genghis Khan exhibit in Victoria 20 years ago ... what can I say? I hang around museums when I travel. :) Better to be in a museum than at an outlet store.

I read some place that they are starting to dig more pits and enlarge the exhibits. It is a very popular tour. Package it with a tour of the western section of the Great Wall (not the toursut section by Beijing) and the mounatins nad their temples near by. It'll be a heck of a trip.
