So. Hear me out.
I believe that now (or rather in about a year and a half) is the time to fulfill my lifelong dream of walking (as much as possible of) the Great Wall of China. Here's why:
I have walked a smidgen of it, once, on a trip to Beijing with Laura and Marcie, and it was more amazing and awe inspiring than I had even imagined!!
Now I have children, which makes things more difficult, but I also have a husband who is tentatively supportive of the idea, which means he secretly thinks I'm crazy but is also aware that that's also why he loves me <3 So he'll do it!
We are posted to China for the next four years, and there is a global pandemic happening which makes it difficult to leave China (mostly because coming back means a ridiculous amount of quarantining with small children). So we might as well spend our vacations seeing more of China.
Additionally, because we can't easily leave China, we will likely not be using much of Joel's vacation days up on exotic journeys to Connecticut or Utah. Might as well take a lovely, long walk!
Right now, I'm thinking of the hard, cold logistics of how to transport children. So here are a bunch of links for hiking trailers!
Crazy expensive, single seater, but has a jogging tow system: https://www.cybexonlineshop.com/zeno-multisport-trailer/zeno-multisport-trailer.html
$600, double seater, but not sure if you can tow it while hiking: https://www.burley.com/product/encore-x/
suspiciously cheap on amazon, but no idea if it has the attachments I want: https://www.amazon.com/Deluxe-1-Child-Bicycle-Trailer-Stroller/dp/B07RD89GFC/ref=asc_df_B07S321GBC/?tag=&linkCode=df0&hvadid=366402336386&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15325519083424535057&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033275&hvtargid=pla-786262948756&ref=&adgrpid=77662694833&th=1&psc=1
