Greetings from Hong kong

We made it to Hong Kong last night.  We found out our flight to Changsha doesn't leave until this afternoon so we were able to take it easy this morning!  I also just had a visit from a friend that I met on Facebook awhile back and she lives here.  Our hotel, of all places it could be, actually isn't far from her place so she was able to stop by with her beautiful little girl that she adopted from here and also has DS so a special connection!

The girls are having a good time.  They are hanging in there.  So far they have spent most of their trip in airports but tonight we get a break for a few days.  Tomorrow morning we meet Meilin!  It is still unreal to me.  I am sure it will hit me tonight when we are in Changsha!

I will add some pictures of our adventures so far.  Nothing exciting yet though.  It is windy, warm and rainy here today.  The fun thing is apparently this is a big hotel for weddings and wedding pictures!  I heard there are 20 weddings today here.  It is fun watching them all dressed up and the beautiful chinese outfits the brides and grooms wear.  Most are red!
Well now for the pictures and then pack for another trip!

the girls love ice cream and very excited to see it on the plane menu!

a glass window divides the bathtub from the beds.  Quite silly but luckily a shade does pull down for the guests who prefer to bathe in private!  :)
