EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

I'm excited about my April 20th adventure with the Classic Icons of China trip. Is there anyone out there going on this one and do you want to get to know each other on line before the trip. I'm an African American female, former English and drama teacher and retired high school Principal. I live in Ohio.

Hi Sandra, my friend Kathleen and I are on the April 20th trip. We are both retired teachers. I taught middle school science and then went on to the state department of education. I live in Texas, love needlepoint, gardening, and reading.
