Hong Kong Disney, second day here

Me on the lawn of our hotel

This morning we woke up early, but stayed in the room until almost 11am. The girls talked first, then sat down to read (Holly) and work on the computer (Mom). Her games needed tending. The park did not open until 10:30am anyway. We relaxed on the grounds, before we walked on the sea-walk to disney.

Disney has a really cool walkway from the sea walk up to the park itself.

These are a few pictures from the start of the day. We took over 150 pictures today and I am tired. I will try to get some more up in the morning if we get up in time. Really a very pretty day. Sunny and nice temps. Holly got more sun than Terry as she forgot sun screen today.

Airport Yesterday and Hong Kong Wednesday March 30th

This was me as we waited, in the United red carpet room, for our flight to board yesterday. It was nice since we had a 5 hour layover in San Francisco.

We did not take terry's camera today, We will tomorrow. These are off Terry's Iphone. Holly took a few with her camera, but they have not been downloaded yet. She is sleeping right now.

It was a fun day today even though we were a little jet-lagged yet, we think. We did not take a lot of pictures today as it was rainy and overcast, but we all had umbrella's and it was light rain, so we did fine. Tomorrow we hope to have no rain. We plan to take more pictures then. I should be in a lot of them then, but I just did not want to get wet today. They have several of the same rides here as in the states, but some have different twist. Jungle cruise has fire and you get sprayed with a tiny amount of water. The park is smaller and was not very crowded today, so we even got onto the Dumbo and Winnie the Pooh rides. Well, I have a few things to do and then I am off to bed. Hope all is going well for our friends everywhere.

Long flight

We made it, though I stayed in the carry-on suit case the whole way. Boo and Terry were in bulkhead seats and we all decided that it was safer for me to stay resting in the suitcase. They had four movies on the plane. We saw Gulliver's Travels (the newer one), The Tourist, The Kings Speech, and True grit. Napped in between the shows. It was an okay flight, but loooooooooooooong! When we finally got through customs and got our bag, then we had to decide on our transportation from the airport to the hotel. We choose a shuttle service and were the first to be dropped off. We pointed out our bags and went in and got checked in. We are on the top floor (9th) with a nice view of the pool and Hong Kong Bay. While Holly's showered I grabbed my suitcase to unpack and realized that it wasn't mine! So, spent awhile tracking down mine and arranging to get it and have them pick up the one I had. I did have to pay another ride charge, but it was our fault, so I can't complain too much. I will be heading to bed soon, as it has been a long day.

It has began

We are sitting in San Francisco airport at United's red carpet lounge waiting for our flight for Hong Kong, which will board in about two hours. 3:30 am came very early this morning, but Boo, Terry, and I all made it to the airport in time for our 6:30 am flight, thanks to Dad driving us. We meet our friends Ed and Lynn at the SFO airport. They were on their way to Hawaii for a week, then Holly and Mom (Terry) got breakfast, as I am stuffed I didn't need to eat. I am hoping to get out of the carry-on bag again, some, on our 14 hour flight to Hong Kong. I will try to blog tonight after we get into our hotel, hopefully we will have internet.
