The following letter is from Darin Yee (7th Dan) who is organizing an exciting trip to China. If you've ever thought about going there, and experiencing the root systems from which ours was extracted, this would be the opportunity!
Contact Darin if you have an interest in going.

CHINA TRIP
Greetings to All,
As promised, I now have a firm price for our IUKF trip to China. This price will be $3,600 for an all inclusive 2 weeks trip from Boston, to China and back. Your individual price may vary slightly depending on your point of origins. This price will not include visa, alcoholic beverages, gratuities, shopping or meals outside of the main group.
Depending on the selected airline, we will all meet in either San Diego, San Fran or LA from our prospective airports and leave for Hong Kong together. Bob Campbell will greet us in Hong Kong and will be our host for the next two days until we leave by boat to China (not a junk). This boat will take us into Gin Yoke (Chinese pronunciation, spelling may not be what is listed in our maps)where we will be greeted by Sifu Wong and our transport to our hotel in Toi San.
We will spend 10 days of working out and trips to other cities every other day to shop and sight see. Cities like Gwan Jou, Fosan, Hoi Pin, Toi Narm and others. We will also be invited to visit some of the most well known martial arts schools in the area and surrounding towns. There are some night life in the area, but we'll talk about that when the time comes.
What I need from all interested is your money deposit of $1,000 by the end of March. I will need your valid passport sent to me with another partial payment of $1,000 by the end of April. When I get your visas I will invoice you for them. By the end of June, 2006 I should have received your payments in full so I can reserve your rooms in Hong Kong, and various parts of China.
Other then the money commitment, I will make up a form and post it on our IUKF site. Anyone can download and print out this form and send it back to me. My address will be listed.
This should be a great educational trip as well as a relaxing exchange of culture. We will not be going up north to see the great wall this trip. From where we are going to Beijing is an 8 hour plane ride. We can plan that for our next trip to China.
