So, people have been asking me about the trip and how they could go on such a trip...
I did this trip through Morris Murdock Travels.
They have great tours of China for very reasonable prices. My tour was around $1400 all inclusive==hotel, flight, tour guide, enterance fees, most meals. For those who don't price airline tickets, please note, this is very very cheap. ( Sometimes it can cost just that much for a ticket to Asia!!!) My tour guide for this was Alicia Richmond. Alicia will be going to China again next year. Check out her website and Morris Murdock for info on that. Rick, Dallin and I will be going with her on one of her tours next year (had so much fun, I just gotta take Rick and Dallin with), so if you want to go, stay in touch and we can party down in China together! :)
Angie's travel tips: If going on an organized tour isn't your thing (its not my thing for when I go to Europe, but China is a different story and I highly recommend it), you can find cheap flights so you can do the trip on your own. If my family were up to flying next weekend, we could go to Frankfurt, Germany for $260 each way!!!! You just need to know where to look for flights.
"Angie, where do I look for those dang cheap flights?" --visit the webpages for different airlines. Don't just pick United and other traditional American airlines, but also visit SAS, BA, Asiana Airlines etc... dig around on their websites and you will find a spot that allows you to recieve emails from them. Each week or so, you will get emails with fabulous deals (maybe something funny like $39 RT , SLC to Fargo, N.D. or it may be something cool like $400 RT Las Vegas to Tokyo, Japan).
The key is being flexible and willing to fly when the airlines offer something good. Obviously, traveling during Thanksgiving Weekend or Springbreak will cost more then flying the second weekend in March or something.
Anyway, travel is awesome and amazing. Give it a try...sign up with different airlines and you may find yourself on a 747 jetting off 11 timezones away. :)
Cheers and Happy Travels!
