On Our Way

The 5:30 a.m. wake up call came early, but we got right to it.  Went to the hotel restaurant after our grand showers, and the buffet was a show stopper.  We said goodbye to Michelle and her daughter, Harper, who were our train travel buddies and then checked out.  We took a very short shuttle ride to the airport, and I snapped a few pictures before we went in. Although I didn't see anything of Hong*Kong except the back of Tom's head on the wrong side of the van we comandeered the night before to get to our hotel, we both felt like it was a place we wouldn't mind seeing more of on another trip.  Maybe it was the SUNSHINE and BLUE SKIES. 

By the time we went through check in and immigration, it was time to board the plane.  When I got to my seat, I realized the entertainment options we had on the 767 to *China* were not present on the 747 we took home.  A slump of the shoulders was all there was time for, and we were on our way.  I don't know how it can be, but it didn't seem like such a long trip.  When I noticed my watch at three hours into it, it seemed like an eternity to go, but then there were only three more hours to go, and it was a piece of cake.  I noticed the flight map south of Japan, just north of Japan and then we were over Seattle.  We landed early, made it through immigration after several chunk, chunks of the stamper and walked the newest American citizen through the doors to the rest of her life.
