Happy Easter from Hong Kong

Tony arrived home real late Friday night or it was more like early Saturday morning. 2:30 AM to be precise. We had to leave for the airport at 7:00 AM. Pretty painful. He was out with his colleagues celebrating a co-worker's recent wedding. The whole expat gang together with all the locals hung out and ate......drank and then...proceeded to go to various nightclubs.

One of the downfalls of living in China is that most of the population smokes. So when he crawled in and reeked of smoke, I was not pleased. Top that with only three hours of sleep, I felt for him. Mr. Miao looked like he was hurting too. I didn't care that they were hurting just as long as we made it to the airport on time to catch our flight to Hong Kong.

We arrived and was greeted by very heavy rains. Matthew was pretty bummed that he couldn't hit the park immediately. The rain stopped for about 2 hours. Plenty of time for us to run to the park and get on the Buzz Lightyear ride several times, hit Space Mountain and then the heavy rains came again. That's OK- we're here for a week and have plenty of time to do it over and over again.


The weather was a bit better this morning. We hit the Hollywood Hotel for breakfast and then ran to the park. Matthew participated in the Easter Egghunt and in between we did some rides. I even did the Mad Hatter's Tea Cup ride. I have very bad motion sickness and I managed to survive that one. That is one for the books. So, Happy Easter everyone. Hope that you will enjoy the day with all your loved ones.
