Dear Travelzine Moderator,

My name is Bob Johnson and my wife and I live in Beijing. This is our first ex-pat posting and we're have a great time. We have traveled quite a bit in China and a few coutries in Asia (Bali and Thailand).

We are leaving next week on an around-the-world trip. We will spend a couple of weeks on the West Coast of the US, stay a week in Nova Scotia, 7 days near St. Tropez, and a week and a half in Italy (Tuscany and Venice).

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards, Bob and Jeanie Johnson
