My First Blog

Since we are planning the next adventures of our lives, we have decided to set up a Blog so friends and family can keep updated with our activities.

After an initial 2 month trip by Mark to China in 1988, he decided to get more deeply involved with Asia and China.

in 1989 Mark and Pat moved to Singapore. China was developing based on it's "Open Door Policy". This resulted in years of regular trips there.

Five years later, the focus changed from Asia to China exclusively, and we moved to Hong Kong.

In 1997 Hong Kong was returned to Chinese rule, and soon after the "handover", we moved to Shanghai.

During 2000, Mark's former company was sold and as a result of new job assignments, we moved to Beijing.

Now, in December 2008, we will bring our belongings back to the USA and start on a new adventure.

Hope you enjoy it and leave your comments on this blog.
