In Hong Kong






Okay, where should we start? All is well. Bro. Floyd and Daniel got up very early and took us to the Asheville airport on the new bus. : ) The flight was soooo long as expected but we fared well. Scott says the flight attendants were jerks and I will probably agree. Continental did have a wide choice of movies, programs and games that helped pass the time. Evelyn was a great traveler as always and we all got some sleep on the plane. Oh yes, princess Evelyn always draws attention but she especially did in her airport ride, the Ride On Carry On that we purchased to wheel her around. We got to Hong Kong just shortly after our scheduled time and were ready to crash after we settled in at the hotel. Evelyn had a little trouble with the time difference (waking around 2am) but with a little help from benedryl we all got about 8 hours of real rest. Hong Kong is as I remembered, bustling and crowded. We did fine venturing here taking a taxi and two trains to get to Disneyland Hong Kong. It certainly is not Disney World but was really a great first for Evelyn. I was glad Scott stopped and bought two umbrellas this morning because the rain is still here. It kept the lines down at Disney and we were able to do almost everything there with little or no wait. Evelyn got to meet four princesses, Belle, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and her very favorite, Cinderella who even had Prince Charming at her side. So even with lots of rain, the day was a success. We are about to settle early in as we meet with a group at 8:15 in the morning for a day tour of Hong Kong. We did meet Carla (the other CCAI family specifically in our group) in the hotel lobby this morning. Ta ta for now.
