Days 1 & 2 - We're Here!

We are in Hong Kong...can you believe it?  Our travel day yesterday was smooth.  Enjoyed relaxing on the airplane.  Funny, the short 4 hour flight from Tokyo to Hong Kong seemed the longest. We made it to our hotel by midnight on Friday, having left our house just after lunch on Thursday.  We are truly on the other side of the world.

And while we're here, our adoption agency has set up a great weekend of getting used to the timezone and enjoying this amazing city.  Toured with the other families who are adopting in our "group" - there are 6 other families.

Went to the Mount Victoria Lookout, Hong Kong Harbor (see picture of us on a boat ride in front of a floating restaurant), Stanley Market...  keeping us occupied while we wait just a little longer.  Tomorrow (Sunday) we take a bus to Guangzhou where we will get Evian on Monday!  Thank you for continuing to pray for us.

I heard there was bad weather in Guangzhou. Hope you made it safely. We are so excited to follow your journey.

Very glad that you are safe and that your travel time has gone smoothly thus far. The girls were so cute and smiley in the car on Thursday and Friday. It is a treat to have them along for the ride!

Welcome to China! Just checked your blog and now I am thinking maybe Evian is in your arms right this moment (monday afternoon china time).

Praying for your family!
