Following the conference call this morning, the Beijing project has been scheduled to start on January 23, definitely much earlier than I anticipated before yesterday. I have a lot of Mandarin to catch up on. Sent e-mails to my contacts in Thailand to let them know that Jan 28 - Feb 5 are my tentative dates for vacation in Thailand. Hopefully that works out. Otherwise, I might just take a weekend trip somewhere and plan on having two work weeks in Beijing. Also, the client needs to agree to having a split two week project. It doesn't affect them financially as I'd be responsible for all of the costs of the extra week.
There are still a number of "If's" but I definitely have two weeks of work in Beijing at the end of the month.
As far as planning goes, two weeks (plus one week while I am working in Beijing) is not enough time to fully prepare for the type of vacation I was expecting, so I'm kinda frazzled. I need to get on top of the travel agent stuff ASAP!

Hey Scott! Nice blog--I'll put a link to it in mine, if you don't mind. Looks like you haven't stopped travelling, even after college. Good for you!
