ARRIVING AND LEAVING
HONG KONG!

This will be short and sweet. I am tired and we have a very long flight tomorrow. Basically we spent the day packing and traveling to Hong Kong. The girls are holding up. Mike is stressed and we all need a good green smoothie when we hit the States. My cold is better, but I have a little bit of a lingering cough and just a tad of sinus drainage. Please pray that we will all stay well with zero sinus drainage 35,000 feet in the air. It is miserable when that happens. Please pray for Annalyn and our family as we make the transition back to our home. Gwendolyn is very homesick. She is ready to click her heels and suddenly appear back home...hummm that sounds familiar. Enjoy what few pictures we have taken today.

The train ride to Hong Kong was cool, but not so much enjoyable. They kept locking the squatty potties on the train and we had about 3 people in our group (2 of them children) that were dying to go to the bathroom. So as soon as the train stopped, everyone made a bee line for the western potties at the train station. We did get to see a lot more scenery traveling on the ground. Hong Kong looks like a really cool town...too bad we only get to spend about 14 hours here, most of them sleeping. Mike and I have decided that for our 50th wedding anniversary we are going to stay a week in Guangzhou and a week in Hong Kong, just the 2 of us...and our wheelchairs and canes.

God bless you! We really appreciate you taking this journey with us! We are so blessed with many wonderful friends and family.

Our next post will be from Atlanta, GA! Woo hoo!! Happy Veteran's Day! And Happy US Citizenship Day, Annalyn!!
