We are here!

Its 7:4am here on Friday in Hong Kong...and its 5:45 at night Thursday by you...the night before. We jumped into the future as Nick says. It is raining buckets here and will for the next couple of days, but thats fine because it will keep my allergies and Caila's asthma under control in the city. I'm thinking of the difference between Moscow and Hong Kong...and right of the bat I would travel to Hong Kong alone but never to Moscow. Hong Kong is friendly and has a lot of English! Overall people here try to please you and in Russia you are invisible unless they know you. I loved Russia, but would not go by myself.
The flight was bearable, God worked out our seats on the plane so that instead of being scattered in three rows we were all together, and the row behind us had the most adorable twin babies to distract us. I will post later about more in detail, but we need to get some breakfast. Three more days until we see Eliana!

It's so exciting to hear from you! We've been checking constantly too! PTL that you were able to sit together on the plane. We're glad you all survived the long flight. How many movies did you watch? :o) We can't wait to hear about all of your experiences! Only a few more days and your precious babe will be in your arms!! Can't wait to see that!!!! Love you all.
