We made it to Hong Kong!

Hello everyone, we made it to Hong Kong yesterday. This place is huge! We didn't realize there were so many mountains here. It was refreshing to see some green and palm trees. They drive on the wrong side of the road, which was also surprising. Our guide had told us that Hong Kong was originally owned by the British, so I guess that would explain things. The hotel is nice, but no heat! They did bring us a portable heater, which helped things. We seem to be on a schedule of going to sleep at 7pm and waking up at 3am. It's very odd. We are hoping to get off that schedule since it's impossible to do anything. Well, this morning we will head back to the airport and fly to Nanning. We will meet with the ISS worker, Ecko this afternoon. We will get little Morgan tomorrow afternoon! The day is almost here! Well, we will write again this evening or tomorrow. I have to tell you, we really miss home. We thought Americans were rude, most asian people really don't care if they cut in front of you or hit you. The plane ride was very uncomfortable. Not the ride, just the atmosphere. They burp outloud, push on your seat, pull on your seat everytime they get up, cough without covering there mouths. It's just very different. One thing that really amazing Renee and I is the men do not allow the women to go first. That is really strange. Aunt Danielle, the rock has been secured! Save bail money! Debbie, we met Maurice. He is so sweet. He left a package at the desk when we arrived and left a note with two of his books. He called later than evening and we met him downstairs in the lobby. We wanted to have dinner with him, but his friend fron Singapore was meeting him. We had a great talk. He thought we already had Morgan. He was so nice Debbie. It was great meeting him. Thanks Debbie. We will write later.

Just following the trip. It is hard to be in another country. We felt it more the second time when like you, we weren't in a group with other Americans which kind of hide what you are experiencing. All part of the story!
Can't wait for the next part of the journey.
Love, Pam
