Unedited notes from travellers who went first. Names and journeys as they agreed to share them.
The only trip we have ever taken where we never once discussed logistics. We just ate, walked and looked — and someone had already thought of everything.
Our tailor rebuilt the plan twice around our daughter's nap without being asked. At this price, that is the real luxury.
Dawn at Everest's north face with a scholar beside us and hot tea in our hands. My wife cried. Worth every dollar of the flight.
From Kunming to Shangri-La, every day had one door we could not have opened ourselves. The caravan-family dinner alone was worth the journey.
We stood inside the Ice Festival a full hour before the public. At minus twenty, our tailor was the one checking our gloves.
One dinner in Chengdu rewrote what I thought a banquet could be. I have eaten in Paris my whole life.
Three generations, one pace. Nobody was bored, nobody was rushed, and my mother still talks about the teahouse morning.
