After our meeting last night, our travel agent, Bianca, had lots of answers for us!  What a super travel agent to work with!  See below for her direct contact information.

There will be doors on the sleeper train – but not on the bunks.





 Can LJA travelers fly on their own to Beijing and meet us at the hotel?  YES – its called “land only” travelers can book their own tickets – when they are ready to enroll they call (888) 310 7121 Explorica Customer Care

What if a family needs more than one room? The family will be divided into 3 rooms – Once they enroll in the trip our travel agent, Bianca, can put in a special request for rooms

What is the cost for a student staying with his/her parents in the same room? The child would pay the adult supplement fee of ($210) to stay with their parents – kids staying with kids will not pay a fee – if families know each other and want their kids to bunk together they can, but this is the decision of the parents attending the tour

What do we do if our keiki don't like the food in China?
Good ole McDonalds to the rescue!


KFC will come to help!

Yes...you can eat Pizza Hut!
