We are in Hong Kong!!



Well, we made it safe and sound. Very tired but in pretty good shape. Our flight was pretty uneventful. The only time there was a little bit of a worry was on our flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong. We hadn't been in the air very long and they announced on the overhead speaker..."Is there a doctor on board?" Not sure what happened. The plane had over 400 people on it so who knows. The passenger in front of us stood up and said she wasn't a doctor but was a nurse practioner but when the steward came over to talk to her he said they got the situation dealt with. so the rest of flight was just very long and actually the food was pretty good. We got two meals and one snack (cup of noodles). The gentleman sitting next to us was from China and he had been in Seattle working with Microsoft on a "hardward deal" He kept calling himself a "tool engineer". His english was a little tough to understand but he said he enjoyed practicing it on Rich and I. We didn't really watch any movies just dozed off and on and met some of passengers and had really neat conversations. Spokane isn't very diverse so being able to speak with people from other cultures is so interesting.

It is rainy pretty hard in Hong Kong right now but the town is pretty lit up. Our entire travel group are such nice families. It will really make this trip even more exciting and fun to have such a group support team. We are staying at the Regal Kowloon Hotel. IT is a very nice hotel. Well, Rich is already fast asleep and I am heading that way myself.

Take care
Hugs,
Terri
