Twas the Night Before Gotcha

Twas the night before "GOTCHA DAY" and all through the suite, the only creature stirring was a very tired me.  All charging outlet's were humming with the charging of camera's, camera's and more camera's so that not a second will be lost.  The hubby was snoring and my babies all snug, as it's the last night ever, they will not know how they are so loved. 

OK....Enough of that as this VPN is hard to get to cooperate, and I want to catch all up on the 411 of the last few days.  Seat belts fastened....let's go!

Took a very, crazy long plane ride: That's us going around the world and then some!

Had our camera stolen from our luggage somewhere along the way in the baggage area...buying locks for trip home!  Went to shopping districts in Hong Kong to buy a new one.  It is eye popping how congested with people, signage, cars, buses and more people this shopping area was.  Pretty sure my head exploded!


We took a sky tram thingy up to a Giant Budda and village.  Very pretty views.  Yes, of course we sprinted to the top.  I am that competitive, especially when I tower over most of the men here.



This is the insence burning garden in front of the temple, by the big budda. The aroma was something outta this world. I can certainly understand why Glade passed on this scent for air freshners! 


A nice ride up and down.  I nearly fell asleep, it was so relaxing....errr maybe it was the jet lag?  Which really has not been to terrible.


We made our way to the train station this morning for our ride into main land China, Guangzhou.  It was a nice ride and Guangzhou is far more cosmopolitan than I had previously thought.  Our train was late into the station and our Lifeline rep somehow missed us walking out of immigrations.  Not to worry, after an hour of searching without success, we hired a taxi to get us to the hotel.  The Garden Hotel is ubber nice.  We were rushed up to do paperwork for tomorrow and all is on track for a 2:30 GOTCHA!  Will send you the details bout that tomorrow.  Gonna post this before I'm booted off the VPN now!  Prayers please for our Timothy and Kate....these next few weeks will be very difficult for them.
