We are in Hong Kong

We arrived in Hong Kong after a very long flight and a 5 hour delay in Chicago. The flight was pretty uneventful (which was good!) We ended up flying in Premium class which is somewhere between Economy and Business, so we had a little more room. Today we meet 2 other families from WI from our agency who I have been corresponding with for the last few months (the Urbanski's and the Fath's). We tagged along with them from our hotel (the Marco Polo) in Kowloon to Hong Kong Island. We took the Star Ferry (very economical at less than a US dollar each) from Kowloon to HK. From there we took a tram to Victoria Peak for some magnificant views of HK. The tram ride took about 10 minutes and the tram travels up the peak at about a 45 degree angle - very steep!! We then had a nice lunch at a restaurant at the top of the Peak. I was too exhausted to go shopping, so we came back to the hotel, napped, and then ran across the street to an Internet Cafe in the YMCA. Tonight we'll meet the other families for a drink and tomorrow we will explore more of Kowloon. Sunday we are off to Nanning, so I will post more from there! Not much to report yet, but hopefully more news soon!!
