Greetings from Hong Kong!!!



Yes, we're here! We've arrived safe and sound, albeit a tad tired. Ok, that may be an understatement in Ron's case, as he didn't get to sleep at all on the flight over. Much thanks to Chip for getting up sooooo early to take us to the airport! We had our one glitch of the trip early so that makes us happy as it happened first thing so we can now relax for the rest of the trip. When we arrived at the airport we found out that our flight to Chicago had been cancelled =) We were quite happy at that point, mostly because we could have slept in another hour to catch the flight they actually put us on. All in all the flights were uneventful and we made it to Hong Kong right on time. We met up with 9 of the other families in our travel group and went on over to our hotel where I believe every single one of us hit the sack soon after! It is quite beautiful albeit rainy in Hong Kong, with temperatures around 70, tropical plants, high mountains and we're right on the Harbor. Today we'll be going on a tour of Hong Kong to Victoria Peak, Fishing Village, Stanley Market (where Ron hopes I don't bankrupt us!) and we'll catch some dim sum! Perhaps tonight we'll do a harbor cruise depending on how tired we are.... That's all for now, we'll write more later! Until then here are some pictures...
