my son is heading off to hong kong and china... UPDATE

[carole]

Well after telling you all the news, my son sends me a text saying the trip has been delayed, i think the boss just decided not to go right now, he told scott he woke up at 4am and made the decision,he say's they will go in a few weeks, but i am wondering if it will eventuate, boss sounds a bit indecisive to me.

However i have to say it is a blessing in disguise, my son came down rather sick on wednesday,he is at home off work with a nasty flue type virus that is going around at the moment, as he said there is no way he would want to be traveling anywhere feeling like he does, i would have been really worried if he had gone ,so i guess it is not mean't to be for now.,hopefully they will head off to china after his holiday to aussie, which would be much better all round really.

Oh, we hope he feels better soon, and does get to go to China and Hong Kong sometime soon!

Unless he is going to be in very rural areas, you have no need to worry about things like bird flu and typhoid. China is an amazing place to visit. I hope we have the opportunity to visit again one day.

Thank you for that, i am much more happier knowing that, as i doubt he will be anywhere near rural areas, yes he was so excited, but he is glad it was called off, as he is feeling very unwell, certainly not up to traveling, both he and his partner Amber are sick and off work right now,apparently the boss has it as well, so it would have been disastrous had they gone.

Yes i hope he still gets to go, it is in the pipeline, so here's hoping.

If he does get to go, as far as vaccines, we got our Hep. A & B vaccines, tetanus (hubby and I both needed to update ours), and we planned to get a flu shot when we thought we were going during flu season. As it turns out, we didn't go during flu season after all.

Thank you, i was worried about that, as even though not compulsory they are recommended and he did not have time to get them, as the trip was like announced, and he only had a week to get organised, i guess summer is not flue season, so hopefully he will be ok with that. cheers.

That's great news Carole. Just tell him to stay out of the Playboy Club, but have a beer in the Ned Kelly bar, it's in Kowloon I think.
