Morning in Hong Kong



Well, we made it! The flight was very long but we had individual choice of hundreds of movies,TV shows , music and games on the seatback screens, so we made sure that we watched LOTS of movies before Hannah prevents us from doing just that! All of the travel went very smoothly. Sleeping on the other hand...not happening. Rob actually has gotten about 6 or 7 hours in the last 36 hours whereas I've gotten about 4! Rob says he's amazed that I'm not sleeping as he remembers me on tour being able to sleep anywhere, anytime of day. I, of course, was not about to meet my DAUGHTER!!!! We are about 6 or 7 hours away from holding her in our arms. We cannot claim to have really been in Hong Kong as we're staying in a hotel connected to the airport so it's sort of like staying overnight at JFK and saying that you've been to NYC. We so don't care as we are now so focused on getting to Guangzhou. Saying goodbye to Riley was heartbreaking for both of us but we have since spoken to her twice and it sound like she's having a blast with Grandma and Grandpa. We do miss her a lot, though. Speaking of Riley, here's today's "RIDDLE FOR RILEY": What capital city will host the Olympics next year? (Hint:It's in the same country we're in right now). Check back in later for the "Gotcha Day" pix!!!!!

WOW! - I agree with the Shuks - speechless and also tearful!! How amazing one day Mom and Dad look exhausted and the next relaxed and peaceful - Hannah magic!!! So glad to see the pics of our newest grandaughter - she is truly wonderful. And while not really a suprise - glad to hear Riley is having such a grand time. You can tell her Grandma Marianne says she is spectacular on two wheels!!
Can't wait to see all - Lots of love, Mom and Rex
