Where's daddy in Hong Kong?


Last night before we fly home out of Hong Kong. What an adventure! Mei has been great and such a trooper these last few days when she has not been feeling so well. The ear infections & fever has past, but now she is having a tough time w/ croup. So, where's Daddy in Hong Kong at 11:15 at night? ...Searching the streets for a nebulizer. We called the pediatrician because we were worried about the long flight home. 15 some thing hours. Her crying leads to coughing which turns croupy and sooo on. Benadryl, nebulizer and a few Hail Mary's and we'll be lading in Newark without a bump in the road.


The trip has been wonderful, but I sure miss home, and even more those cuties that will b waiting at he door to greet their new sister...how exciting!!!! Cuddle time here we come!!!!!


I have a bunch of photos to post but the wires and stuff are all packed, so it will have to wait til home. Packing and re packing take longer than one thinks. Everything has to be packed just so , so nothing breaks.


We have met so many wonderful families on the trip- each special!!! I looking forward to meeting up again real soon with everyone and seeing how the girls have all grown and adjusted to home.


A few couples will keep me laughing for months and months as I think of some of the funny stories and dinner that we had. Hopefully we will see many faces at the picnic this summer or Chinese new Year- Kevin did offer a tour of the city.


Sending Big Hugs from Hong Kong kids. We'll be home real soon. Hong Kong Kong looks like a great city- next time we will have to spend a few days. It is nothing that I'd ever seen before. Tonight we ventured out for dinner and took the local train. Fun- but an adventure. That was half the fun of dinner. We went with Mei's buddy Addison and her folks. Fun was had by all. People were very helpful when asking for directions- one guy Steve live on LI for a few years not far from where I grew up. -small world. The taxi driver on the way home wanted to visit Central Park and see Simon and Garfunkle (been there- great time). He said he listens to the record all the time. The world is alot smaller than I thought. It was a great trip.


Daddy is still not back yet, maybe he is looking for the thermos. I didn't bring one on the trip and should have. Luckily we got by with out it, but if anyone is coming soon to adopt it's a must along with baby motrin. You can't find t here or atleast not easily.


The guides on the trip where great. Our last guide some how was able to balance home life and work beautifully- and looked so calm doing it. He was waiting for the call- and while we where here his wife had a beautiful baby boy. He never skipped a beat & was able to be at her side. Our agency did a wonderful job in helping us complete the jungle of paper work & guiding us in China. A big thank you to Gladney!!! To a job well done. Our daughter is beautiful, happy and more than we could have anticipated.


The bags are packed and we are coming home!!!!!!-
