In this livestream, I start to share with you the steps I took in planning our first visit to the Motherland, including how we chose flights, hotels, and our particular cruise, as well as some other options we looked at and did not choose. However, due to technical difficulties, this livestream was cut short... so please refer to PART 2 of this livestream series for the in-depth planning details.
