Coming HOME!

It is 7:13AM on Saturday morning and I am no longer Crabby. I was soooooo tired yesterday. This is by far the hardest trip I have ever taken and definitely the most tiring labor. I am enjoying it all but it has been a challenge to keep going.

Finally, we are on the final leg home. I cannot post much as usual, as we only have about 40 minutes before we leave. The internet in HK was expensive so Eric waited until this AM to get only one hour.

This is our guide, Kelly, who dropped us off at the airport in Guangzhou.

Megan Ling enjoyed her first airplane ride and really bonded with Ping, a gift from Juma Cindy. Ping has a zipper in his belly where there is a fleecy blanket to cuddle with.

We enjoyed our stay in HK. The day was a lovely sunny one, and the city sparkled. It is nestled in between the mountains (I had no idea of this) and there are thousands of skyscrapers all about 20 or more stories high.

This is on the airport train. We were the only people in the whole car.

Our hotel was about 45 minutes from the airport, so we rented a private bus to transport us there. It was the cheapest way to do it (about $1600 Hong Kong dollars- about 8 HK dollars to the US dollar- $200 US dollars round trip), and we had the entire huge bus to ourselves! It's coming back to pick us up this morning at 8:00 AM.

I think this is a cemetary.

We found a park for the kids to play in and they had a wonderful time climbing and sliding. Mary Alice enjoyed playing with Megan Ling and Bao on the playgrounds.

And now we are on our way home!!!!!
