Wednesday, December 16, 2009 Hi everyone! Today we left Guangzhou in the afternoon. It was hard to leave our trip behind, but it feels so good to be on our way home. We took a train from Guangzhou to Hong Kong – it was pretty long, but Caroline was very good the whole time. When we arrived in Hong Kong, we were very happy to see our nice driver waiting for us. We had a beautiful new luxury van and got to see views of Hong Kong at night. There are lights all over- Hong Kong is really a beautiful city. We were ecstatic to arrive at our beautiful hotel. It is all decorated for Christmas. When we arrived we were greeted at the door and taken in an elevator to check in right away. While Dad checked in we all sat in the third floor lobby where soothing Christmas carols were playing and Cinnamon flavored candles were lit. Then we had an added surprise of getting to be on the Executive Floor. The hotel looks kind of like Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Our rooms are beautiful!!!! When we walked in soothing Christmas music was playing. There are ipod docks, flat screen tvs, wi-fi, and most importantly fluffy soft beds. We welcome the comfort of this beautiful hotel on our long journey home. After, we found out that there is an indoor walkway to the airport terminal. We walked through to acclimate ourselves for tomorrow. We love Hong Kong airport! It is beautiful, decorated for Christmas, has plenty of good things to eat, and fun stores to look in. We were even able to check in early and get our boarding passes for tomorrow so that we can wake up two hours later than we thought.

Our hotel We’re going home!!!

All we have to do is drop our baggage off and go to our flight. The best part is that the wonderful people at our airline put our seats together and gave us the bulk head area- that means more room for Caroline Mei to play! Then, to top off such a wonderful evening we got starbucks on the way back to the room. We are so happy that everything went well this afternoon. It has been a long trip and these little things may not seem like much, but they make a world of difference to us. Because we started our journey in Hong Kong, we feel much closer to home here. Everyone is so nice and helpful. We are sad that we don’t have more time here but we are anxious to go home. I didn’t forget about the cruise pictures but unfortunately I was not able to load that camera. I will try when we arrive home. Caroline Mei is doing so very well. She laughs a lot and is very happy to spend time with her family. Once again, we would like to thank you for following our journey. Sorry for so few pictures tonight, but we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow. Our next update will be from home!!! Until then, goodnight from Hong Kong!
