Back home and guess what? You can't blog in China! The government doesn't trust blogs so they block them from being accessed and viewed. So we weren't able to blog while we were onsite but I have posted a great picture of our onsite team. Thanks to all of our clients for their business and we really enjoyed meeting all of you. See you in Vancouver....

And we have been getting a few pin requests from people wanting them for their collections. We still have a few left so if you want a Sports Traveler official Olympic Trading Pin please send a self addressed stamped envelope to:

I have just returned from a week long preview trip of Beijing for the upcoming Olympic Games. It was truly the best trip of my life - and trust me, I have been on a lot of trips. But Beijing is by far the most interesting place I've seen. I wanted to take a moment to write on our Sports Traveler Blog to let everyone know about some of the great sights that I saw as I previewed our tours for the upcoming Olympics in August.

Our onsite partners for this event are fantastic. Already, they have everything planned and are ready for our Sports Traveler clients to arrive. I previewed our tours to the Great Wall and I took a tour of the Forbidden City. I even took a Hutong Tour and had tea with an older Chinese couple in their home - something that I think everyone should make time to go do.

The scene in Beijing is something special. It's modern and old world. Crowded yet you will find peaceful parks to sit and relax. The food is excellent. I have many restaurant selections that I will list on
