hello lisa, we got home at 2am yesterday. both of us continued to get worse. we had to stay on the train without heat 24 hrs. the snow was beautiful and it snowed in xian about 12-14 inches. they had to scrape snow off the tracks and trains were in front of us.. the terracotta warriors was my dream and i saw them the day before getting back on the train.
 
           it  rained but inside mostly. i can't talk and chest hurts. got antibiotics  as soon as i got herel. wanted to let you know that there couldn't be  any better guides. we really enjoyed them. i felt bad because jay and  driver had to wait also at train station for our pick up. thanks for  1/2 day to stay in bed. we needed it. and then mi -the guide took us to  restaurant and got us a hot pot which was wonderful. we had 32 hr  flying time and jay got us to airport at 8:00pm. flight was at 11:30pm  and we went right to sleep. home now and dr. sent me some antibiotics.  hope they help. service , food and guides were so helpful. if i have  any friends that want to go in the future will definetely recommend  you. again, thanks for your help.gg 
                
              we really  enjoyed red wall hotel. the people were nice and kept extra luggage for  us to go to xian on train. none of staff except  1 person at desk could  speak english. but we communicated in many ways. got to know restaurant  staff, and all lounge staff. breakfast was outstanding. we were  near  market area and got out and walked everywhere we could.  we liked the  area. when we had to get out of room at 1pm on last day we stayed in  lounge. had american music,and ate pizza. one of the girls that worked  there looked up words on phone and we talked. we really got to know  each other well. we danced together and she stayed with us about an  hour after she finished working..
