It's 5:52 am in Hong Kong. We made it here safely. Of course, we have been up since midnight Hong Kong time since our bodies think it is the middle of the day. Our room is great -- a view of the Harbor. We arrived last night just in time to see the light show over the Harbor. It was great! It seems we remembered everything except the power cord to my laptop, which means we may be using internet cafes to update the blog. The flight was good, long, and uneventful. We flew straight north to the North Pole (pictured here). We tried looking for Santa but think we were too high overhead. Then we went straight south to Hong Kong. It was beautiful and yet strange to see a sunrise when my body felt like it was night.
For my nephews, Drew and Aaron: It was so neat to fly over the North Pole. Too bad we didn't have your early Christmas lists to drop off for you! We tried our best to see the castle, but I think we were just too high in the air. Even though we could not see Santa's castle, it sure did feel like there was something extra special in the air. I think all the love and joy that comes from Santa reached all the way to us high in the sky in the plane.

Hi, Mommy & Daddy - Sarah, here!
We're so glad you made it safely.
Today we did "COOKING" - smells are wonderful! And, I got a thing called an 'ice cube'. I even got to take outside to the garden and play with it. It was a good time.
Last night I found a really soft, big couch in a place called 'the playroom'. I've decided that this is my special spot to sleep in comfort...the husband isn't budging on the bed idea :(
I had a great day playing in the sunshine with the host-puppy and we went for a good walk, too. Enjoying a new kind of biscuit, as well. We really need a Costco membership...maybe when you get home?
My stomach is doing fine and my ear is getting "cremed" on schedule. I miss you, but I hope you will have a wonderful time on your belated honeymoon.
Also, hostess said that it will take 3 to 4 days to get your internal clock on Asian time. So, relax and nap when you need to (she's like another mom :))

Of course I am glad to hear you both made it safely (a mother speaking). We have had rain most of the day and we have really needed it. Daddy finished the fence so all neighbor dogs can now not see each other and has it cut down on the barking and the other dog charging our and Joe's fence. Your trip sounds like it is off to a great start. Get plenty of rest when your body says you need it and have a wonderful honeymoon. Looks like Sarah is having fun also. Take care and we will look forward to further trip details. Love to you both. Diana March 11,2007 7:05
