Wednesday Packing Up

Not much exciting going on here. Weather continues to be ugly although we are leaving today and the sun is shining. I asked a shop person when it stops raining here. She told me it rains most of the summer and the mugginess never ends.

It is around noon Wednesday and we are packing up. We check out at 2pm and head to the U.S. Consulate shortly after checking out. After our appointment we are headed to the train station for a 5pm train to Hong Kong. We ended up taking the train again when we found out the bus ride was 3 hours and we would have to change buses at some point plus it was over twice as much to take the bus. Bob is going to help us check our luggage on the train so we won't have to handle it til the end. We will then take a taxi to our hotel which is attached to the airport in Hong Kong.

Patrick is very tired of being in the hotel. The honeymoon is over. He is in to everything and does not like the word "no". He just goes back to whatever you told him "no" to and laughs. We still can't complain..he is still a happy guy and doing well. I think he's as ready to get out of here as we are.

So we are out of here in a bit....headed home. This is a wonderful place to visit but there's no place like home. I'm not looking forward to the plane ride, jet lag, time difference, etc. but we'll get through it. Here's to a quick, peaceful (with Patrick sleeping most of the way :-) flight home.
