Travel Update.
Sooooo.... Rob and I did not sleep last night since our cab was picking us up at 4am. Everything was going smoothly. Drive to the airport was shorter than we thought, check in was easy. My baggage weighed .1 kg less than the max so PTL for that. We slept at the gate for a bit and then boarded the plane. And sat there for an extra 45 minutes due to delays in the computer system which caused us to miss our flight back to America by about 15 minutes. After practically running to the transfer counter to see if there was any way we could make it on the plane and almost breaking down and crying in the middle of the Hong Kong airport, they were able to find another route for us to get home, a few hours later than we were supposed to and an extra connection flight but it is ok. We are just tired and frusterated at this point and definitely ready to get back in America. Right now the sleep count is NO SLEEP FOR 28 hours going on 29. Since we missed our flight, they gave us vouchers to use in one of the 1000 resturants here. We just finished eating a delish hamburger and fries. In some ways this mis hap is a good thing because it breaks up the 14 hour flight. And we are safe so I can't complain. Hong Kong is definitely the place you would want to get stuck for a few hours. On a different note, Hong Kong looked amazing when we flew in. I am definitely going to add another country to my "TO GO" list!!
