Travel Plans

Most of my travel plans have been finalized and they are as follows:

January 9 - Depart for Hong Kong. We will be staying for four nights in order for Max to get a new Visa and to see the sights. We will also be taking a day trip to Macao. We wanted to stay in Macao, but the hostels and hotels were all a bit pricey.
January 13 - Depart for Sanya, which is a city on the island of Hainan in the southern Chinese Sea. It is often regarded as the Hawaii of Asia. We will be on the island for a little over a week.
January 21 - Depart for Kunming, which is a a city in the southwest of China. It is supposedly beautiful and the temperatures are supposed to be perfect all year round. As of this point we have only booked travel to here, but we intend to continue on to Chengdu for the Chinese New Year.
February 13 - I will depart to Shanghai to meet my parents. At that point I will leave the planning up to them. As I know more details I will update.
