October
7 Well we made it to Hong Kong - the flight
on Air China was great. Leaving Beijing was a bit scary - we were unsure where to go after customs... wound up in the
wrong line twice but finally figured out where we needed to be! We got in to find the Deveraux's (another family
from our group who we were meeting at the airport) flight was delayed. We did some checking around and found out it
was REALLY delayed so we headed to the hotel and were met in the lobby by Jenny and Steve Evoy. Steve had lived in Hong
Kong a while back so it was great to have someone who knew how to get around. We walked to the YMCA for dinner
and then came back along the harbor it was beautiful!!!!! Tomorrow the rest of our group gets in at 9ish-
we can't wait to meet them!
October
8 Today is our 5 year anniversary- it
is hard to believe it has been that long!
Well we
met all the other families- they all seem really nice. CCAI suggested taking a tour especially for the families
just arriving to help them get on China time and not go to the room and sleep-- we decided to do that as well.
We started with Dim Sum lunch, then went to Victory Peak The view of Hong Kong from there was amazing. We then went
to the Aberdeen Fishing Village, a jewelry market and the Stanley market. Hong Kong is SO different from Beijing; to
us it almost felt more like New York City than China. Once we got back to the hotel we decided to go for dinner
at the Hard Rock with the Evoy's and Deveraux's. We then came back again by walking along the harbor- all
the vendors and people along the harbor made me think of San Francisco-- every one wanted to take your picture. Sean
and I think we should start doing that in Memphis -- pictures with the bridge in the background to finance the next adoption.
Well I am going to try and download some photos and then must pack up because tomorrow we leave to go to Heifi! Just
think tomorrow we will be in the same province as our lil angel-
Please
keep us in your prayers as Sean and I are both feeling a bit under the weather- Sean with a cold and me with stomach issues—now
is no time for this nonsense!
