In my family, all but son had to pay. He received a significantly smaller return.
He's going to China in June, and counted on return to help finance. I made up
for what Trump and the GOP Congress shorted him. Son is a far better US goodwill
ambassador to China than anyone in Trump administration. Son plays Chinese
folk instruments and speaks Chinese too. He is going to the Guilin, Jade Snow Mountain,
and Tiger Leaping Rock Gorge area.

We are getting a refund. Smaller than previous years, which were huge. But that's circumstantial more than anything else.

That's a shame about your son's trip not having the expected funding. Hoping that with your assistance that he'll still get there okay.

Sounds like a great trip to take !! I don't know anyone who speaks Chinese. is he fluent or just passible to understand? That must have taken many years to learn. So different than the Latin based languages.

He'll send photos to share ??

My power just went out due to high winds. Using my iPhone as a hotspot. Laptop will likely die soon enough though. It shuts off to protect itself when it gets down to 30% and I was using it unplugged prior to losing power. UGH.
