Yea, did you just call me Furious...LOL... I have a list about a mile long from my mom and dad and two sisters, so if you want anything, just send me youre list and I will bring it back with me. I figure all of the things that I am going to buy there, I will have shipped back here anyway, so a few more things are'nt going to hurt that much.

Well just wanted to let you guys know that the day is getting near, it's about 1 month from the day that I will land in China. So far I guess that Jennifer and I have worked out our little problem that we were having. She is just getting to the point where now she will talk to me a lot on the computer, so things are still a little bit on the edge. She has said that she still cares about me, but just can't trust me like she did before, which I can understand. I have been sending her flowers and I sent her a card about 1.5 weeks ago, she loved it. She also loves the flowers hat I have been sending her also. I guess the best thing about sending her flowers is this.
Each time that I send them to her they screw up and get something wrong and they are always late getting to her, so they always add a little more than what I paid for when they finally get to her. The last time I sent flowers they had put 20 long stim roses in the box with her other flowers...LOL... She called my and was so excited that she could barely talk, it really felt good to hear her that happy!
It seams like the closer the day gets, the more nervous I get, and the more I really am not sure how things are going to turn out now that we had our little issue with the phone. I made a big mistake and didn't tell her that I was living with my X girlfriend, and now it seams like I am paying for it 2 fold! I guess I have learned one thing out of this so far, always tell the truth! One day it is going to come back on you, and it is going to hit you hard, trust me!...LOL... I believe that now more than I have ever in my entire life.
Like I said, I just wanted so much to happen out of this, and now I really don't know what I will be instore for once I get there. I guess I am really lucky that she is even going to see me after all of this has happen. She used to tell me that she loved me and that she trusted me, but not any more, and that's what hurts the most. I set around and think about it all of the time and say to myself tht I really ****ed up and I did not level with her and tell her what was actually going on. But, like everything else in my life I guess I had to learn the hard way.
I guess the next time I write in here, it will be the day before I leave, and I am going to try and post when I am overthere and hopefully put some pictures of us on here also!
Hey FF, cheer up, things will get better, trust me! I've screwed up a lot of things with Bill (spektrum) in the past put now things are falling into place nicely! Oh yeah BTW Bill and I saw you this past weekend, think we were on 17 and passed you going the other way. Kinda cool, at least I think so

Well FF I know for a fact that you are in for an interesting time. A few years ago I met a chinese girl at work and to make a long story short we are now happily married with 2 beutiful kids. By the way American / chinese cross breed children tend to be very good looking!! A year ago now we took a trip back to china with the family. Her parents live in Shanghia. Stayed over there for two weeks. It was very interesting. We went on some package tours of Bejing that were wonderful. If you have time to go on a tour go with the chinese groups not the ones for forieners. The tours given for the chinese will take you to some of the more interesting and out of the way places. Also do be carefull of what you eat well not realy what you eat but were. I am an advocate for people trying new food but some of the resteraunts have no idea what the word clean means. Once you find a good resteraunt try whatever you want. I recomend tryng a snake dish at least once. Writting this makes me wish I was going back. One serious word though when you get back if you have even the slightest health problems especially stomach get your butt to a doctor. I had a stomach problem for 2 months after I got back but I should have gone to the doctor sooner to get it fixed. Have fun.

Well guy's, I guess in 1 week I will be on the plane to China, still can't really believe that it is going to happe, but I guess I will soon find out. I am taking the shuttle that goes from Norfolk Airport, it is picking me up on the 27 at around 1:30 and it is taking me home also on the the 7 of October. I guess it's not to bad, it cost me $60.00 for the shuttle to pick me up and to take me. My mom and dad are both working, so are my sisters, so they couldn't have taken me. I have been to my mom and dad's house to get there list...LOL... of things that I am supposed to bring back, it's about a mile long, I guess...LOL... My sisters also gave me a list, not quit as long, but still a lot of stuff to bring back. What I will do is buy all of there stuff and ship it back to there houses instead of trying to take it on the flight.
I called the other day about being able to use my Cell Phone there, not a chance, they are on a differant frequency than we are, even though they have the Sprint service there. They did say that I could rent a phone to take there that I could use for calling people in China, guess how much it is? It would cost me $160.00 to rent a phone from them (Sprint) for 7 days, I just laughed at the guy when he told me that...LOL... So, I am sticking to the calling cards, which I can use there. The calling card is really screwed up compared to ours, I mean the rates. I can buy a $20.00 calling card here and call China and talk for about 34 minutes, I can't remember what that figures out to be as far as the rate goes, but anyway. If I try and use that calling card in China, it will cost me $4.00 a minute to call the states, and get this, even if I use it to call someone in China, it will still cost me $4.00 a minute...LOL...
I guess everything between Jennifer and I are OK, sometimes I wonder though. I guess when I didn't tell her about my X girlfriend living with me still and she answered the phone that day, things have sorta been so, so since then. Sometimes she really acts like she cares about me a lot, but then there times when I wonder, women, what would we do without them, right?...LOL... But, either way I am still going there with a good outlook on things and have a great time, no matter what happens. She is getting 7 days off from work, so she will be staying with me the whole time, which is great.

Yikes, this is where panic city sets in, rushing around trying to remember what the heck you were supposed to take, what not to take, wishing you had a woman to do your packing (no offense guys )...keep cool, this'll be a trip to remember!!! Remember at least one pic of a fiero to show just what she's missing...
