Hi Sandy, I never heard of the Boston Contact List. If Lili, gets her visa on Saturday, then I will book tickets for 1/29/03 to Shanghai. I will probably fly United because now the price is $698 USD round trip from Boston or Providence, which is a very good price. Since you are a little younger then Lili, I hope you know some nice places to go and celebrate the Chinese New Year. I still like to go out and have a few drinks and do some dancing.. Lili, wanted me to save my vacation time and not come to Shanghai, and fly back to the US with her. I also was not too sure about going back to Shanghai, so soon. But what the heck, I may never get another chance to spend Chinese New Year in China. I know Lili, and I will come back to China, quite often, but probably not for New Year. I am really looking forward to meeting you and your fiance, and any other fiance that may be coming to live in this area. Bob M. http://www.gifs.net/animate/xlights1.gif
