After repacked 2 times, I am ready to go. It’s a bit challenging to pack for both city and camping trips. Especially, I plan to go to an opera or two, and I will be getting dirty in the field. At least I finally got all the lodging reserved! Exciting and anxious at the same time. I will go with the flow after the journey starts at 2:45am!

It is only a question for a novice but not to an old hand like you.
Interested to know: eastbound or westbound?
Bon voyage! 一路順風!
