I have been invited to visit the families of children that I have hosted here in Los Angeles. They live in Taiwan and Japan/NRT. Since I am so close, I want to see the Great Wall/Beijing and the Terracotta Warriors/Xian.

This international travel just seems to get harder for me. I am having a hard time making air-fare arrangements and ask for your help. I am a flexible personality and on a budget.

Someone recommended that I book a 1/w to Japan with a layover in Taiwan. I will be grateful for anyone's suggestions.

I just found that I could get my China Visa and have it by 10/09. I'm hoping to leave for this trip around 10/14.

Thank you.
