The actual flight path is probably more like this.

This past November 9th marks the 6th anniversary living in the United States, which also means that it's been 6 years since the last time I was in China, having never been back to visit my family and friends (all of whom miss me so dearly ... at least I would hope to think so).

This is all going to change - this winter break from 12/11 to 12/31, I will be visiting China - more specifically, my hometown, the coastal city Taishan. This visit will mostly be focusing on meeting up with friends from elementary-school-era and spending time with family.

Since I don't get to go to China much, I will try to document my winter vacation there as much as possible. For this very occasion, I purchased the $82 RCA EZ209HD camcorder from Amazon to record my travel (I would advise you to stay away from this if you want to do some serious HD recording though).

I will be sending out postcards/holiday cards while I am in China too, so if you want one, fill out this short form!

Well, until I am posting from China next time - Happy Thanksgiving!

That's great =] Hope you have fun!
Welcome back to China!
SO cool! LOVE the flight path tool. LOVE the postcard signup (though I won't sign up as I never check my snail mail), and LOVE the fact that you'll be documenting it all. It's like the Haochi PBS Holiday Special. Have fun, and travel safe!!
My eldest brother's wife is from Taishan. Your linked Wikipedia article indicates that the overwhelming majority of all overseas Chinese in North America are from Taishan. Why is this?
