Hong Kong
We made it to Hong Kong today, May 25. No problems at the airport and met up with the girls at baggage claim. We took 2 cabs to our hotel - Langham Place, Mongkok, Hong Kong. Very nice place. We're on the 35th floor. Shout out to our good friends Dai & Corina for recommending the club level. We've only been here 20 minutes and we might just move in for good. We're going for a snack and then to submit our visa applications for China.
In Seoul
We made it to Seoul, South Korea last night. Flight took a bit longer from Yuzhno because North Korean airspace is now closed due to the rising tensions in the region. Great evening at the Hyatt and enjoying our favorite Korean bathhouse. We had to split up this morning because we couldn't get 5 seats on Asiana. Rebecca and Anna are flying on Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong, departing in about 25 minutes (8:45AM local time) and Travis, Austin and Max are flying Asiana to Hong Kong, departing at 9:05AM. We'll meet back up at baggage claim on that end. Max ate the McDonald's "Big Breakfast" and still looks a little hungry...!!! He never lacks attention on flights so he will no doubt be looked after.

Getting Ready for China
We announced Avery in December 2005 at Christmas dinner. Never in a million years did we think it would take 4-1/2 years to finally meet her. We leave on Monday, May 24 for China. We'll do our best to keep this blog up to date over the coming weeks so you can follow our trip.
