China trip from April 12 to April 18, 2018

March 25, 2018

Introduction

It is time for me to write something for my coming China trip from April 12, 2018 to April 18, 2018. It is so difficult for me to make a decision, the get-together of Shanghai Jiaotong university applied math major class from 1984 to 1988. 70141 is the name of class for around 30 students at that time.

How to make a decision for the trip?

I had two classmates who will fly from USA and Canada to Shanghai on April 12, 2018. One of my classmate who is a PH.D. graduate from California, I have not seen her over 30 years, she asked me why I could not join the meetup.

I checked the calendar and also airline ticket by Air Canada, 12 hours direct flight, from April 12 to April 15 is $570 Canadian dollars. No matter what happens, I should be able to take April 12 Thursday off, Friday off, and then come back next Monday. Later, I decide to take two more extra days since the ticket price is same until Wednesday April 18. After April 18, the airline ticket is above $850 Canadian dollars.

How to plan for the China vacation only for 8 days?
