We've Arrived in Hong Kong!











After 21 hours of travel time, we made it to Hong Kong! Our flight was smooth and on time, but very, very long.

The weather here is in the high 60s and overcast. We found our way to an Internet Cafe so we could update you. Last night, we walked around Kowloon and we cannot describe how beautiful Hong Kong harbor is at night. The lights on the high rises are spectacular. On our first morning, we have navigated our way on the Hong Kong subway to take us to the "Ladies Market". Yes, Tom, even agreed that it was ok for this to be on our agenda for the day!!

We are hoping to take a trip to Victoria Peak this evening and see the city from the highest point of Hong Kong island. We'll make our way up on a tram and have a panoramic view, as long as it is not overcast.

Other than that, we will be leaving early tomorrow morning for our flight to Changsha. We are one day closer to meeting Emilia for the first time and we cannot wait!

Hi Ren and Tom.
Thanks for the great pictures and the update on your journey. I talked with your mom this morning and filled her in on the new information that you sent.
Tomorrow is the big day! Can't wait to hear more...
Love and hugs,
Aunt Jul (and Erin, too!)

Everytime I think about you two on this trip to pick up little Emilia tears fill my eyes. I am so happy for you guys and cannot wait to meet the newest edition to our family. Please give her at least one kiss from her Aunt Nic. XOXOXO
