Only FIVE more days until I am on my way to the airport to leave for China!  It almost feels like yesterday when I was in China with the Belmont Study Abroad group last summer…

The total trip duration will be 23 hours long… so even though I am leaving Wednesday morning, I will not be in China until Thursday evening (Thursday morning in Nashville).  I will stop in Shanghai for a couple of days until I fly to my final destination – Kunming. 

I am so excited to be going back for the third time and cannot wait to start volunteering in the local community and working on my Chinese!  I knew I was definitely going to China again this summer and am so fortunate and blessed to have the Lumos Scholarship funding my entire trip!!  So in a few days I am going to say good-bye to America (and facebook since it is still blocked in China) for 6 weeks!!  I will be updating this blog often, so keep watch for stories, pictures and possibly even some videos!
