CHINA IS CANCELLED

I've cancelled my proposed trip to Beijing next week because of my current vertigo problems. It would not have been wise to travel, and it's also unlikely any travel insurance would cover me for what in effect would be a pre-existing condition.
It's a shame because I was really looking forward to seeing a new country and meeting some very influential people. I'd even hoped to have a quick chat with Tony Blair who is scheduled to be a keynote speaker.
