First Day in Hong Kong

Today was supposed to be a relaxing day in Hong Kong to prepare for the rest of the adoption process. It turned out to be anything but. Everything went smoothly, we just ran from one place to the next to get as much in as possible. First we went to the top of the peak on Hong Kong Island. We took a tram to the top and then a bus back down. The bus took forever to get down the mountain, then we got off at the wrong subway/train stop. So we walked to the next one (different train line) and took the train to Disneyland Hong Kong. It is just like the one in California, only alot smaller. We were there for about 5 hours and saw every part of the park. We rode Space Mountain (its a tamed down version) and Buzz Lightyear ride, the Jungle Cruise, and It's a Small World. We saw The Lion King, High School Musical, the Parade, and Braved the Chinese Food! Then we left and went on a Harbour Cruise while the buildings were lit up with lights, lasers, and spotlights. Jodie was so tired she almost fell asleep on the boat. We got in about 10pm tonight and can't wait to fall asleep.

Brian didn't realize that Hong Kong takes a different type of adapter for the electical converter so we are unable to charge the computer, so we may not post tomorrow till we hit mainland china and can plug in the computer. Hope you are doing well and we miss you.

For those of you unfamiliar with our family, we have already been to China once on a humanitarian trip and did all of the familiar sight seeing stuff in Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, and Guilin. Therefore we elected to not do it this trip and just do Hong Kong.

I will have to post pictures later as my battery is about to die.*Update* We called the front desk and they have an adapter they let us borrow, so I've posted the pics for the day, and then we are off to bed. Mom (Connie) I tried to call you this morning but I couldn't get through, it seems my calling card I bought here is only good for 2mins and 46 seconds. We'll try again soon.

Love brian and Jodie
