Xian, China – Day 13 Terracotta Warrior Wow-ness!!!

October 25, 2019 by thekellysontour 3 Comments

(From our trip in April 2018)

Today is a bucket list day for me for sure.  I have wanted to see the Terracotta Warriors for years and years and I am finally going to.  It’s a funny thing, ticking off a bucket list item.  You build it up so much in your mind beforehand it’s always a toss of the coin as to how good it will be.

To ensure that we had the best experience I started hunting online for an amazing private guide months and months before our trip.  I was trawling the Trip Advisor forums and kept seeing this man’s name pop up as an amazing guide.  Over and over I saw Bryan Bai’s name referred to with ooh’s and aah’s but I could never find a web address for him or a spot for all of his reviews online.  It was like trying to find a superhero who didn’t want to be found.  It was really quite frustrating and eventually like the true stalker I am, I messaged someone on the forum who raved about him and then I was cooking with gas.  From the minute I first contacted Bryan Bai he was so warm and wise and wonderful…..all the W words and a whole lot of other letters of the alphabet.  You all know I love me a good tour guide and that my standards are pretty high so if I tell you someone is good – you better believe they are GOOOODDDDD!!!!

Xian, China – Day 12 Food Tour Dumpling Heaven

October 25, 2019 by thekellysontour No Comments

(From our trip in April 2018)

Finally it’s time to get the hell out of Disney Dodge….I couldn’t be more pleased to reset, exorcise the Disney demons and get this show on the road…or in the air as we are heading to Pudong Airport in a cab to fly to Xian.

The airport is a large and intense situation but fortunately since we are flying out early the crowds are low.  I can imagine during “peak flying” time this place would be stressful with a capital PASS THE VALIUM!!!
