3 flights down, 1 to go...and a train ride

This morning at about 5:30 AM local time (somewhere in the afternoon for our stateside friends), a group of around thirty exhausted, smelly, cramped Americans stumbled into the Hong Kong airport, which was probably a humorous sight to see!  After a 14 hour cross-pacific flight (with no sunlight the whole time!!!), we were able to watch through the glass siding of the Hong Kong airport as the sunrise revealed the most magnificent fog-crested mountains!  It was certainly a reprieve from the back of another passenger's headrest.  

Though the worst part is now over, we are now waiting at the gate for our last flight which will take us into Wuhan.  We have fortunately located Free WiFi (props to Hong Kong for providing what Dallas AND L.A. would not), so everyone is facebooking/emailing/watching Michelle Obama's speech on Youtube and loving it...ok maybe that last one was just me.  

We are safe, tired, happy, excited, and experiencing a whirlwind of feelings (physical and emotional).  We will post again once we are in our new apartments!  woohoo!

Peace and Blessings,
Finn

I know! The Hong Kong airport is by far my favorite both because of the beautiful stretch of windows from which to watch the sun rise, and the free wi-fi (also they have a Starbucks).

Yes I am reading every single one of your blog posts. :)
