View from above...

We are staying in Hong Kong the first few days of our trip.  We are on the 20th floor of the hotel.... just like home.  The flight was horrible...just kidding.  Fourteen hours is a long time.  I like to break the time up into manageable segments...and so did the airline.  We were served two meals and a snack and had four movies and two segments of pre-recorded television.  Dave and I both traveled in and out of sleep throughout.  I don't think I watched one full movie or show.  For the snack, we were provided a bowl of "ramen noodles" from the Asia menu I guess?

Our room at the hotel is probably about 150 square feet!  The bathroom has a glass wall with "magic glass".  There are several switches that turn the glass from clear to frosted.  The beds are twin size and shorter than normal.  Dave's feet hung off the end.  But, no complaints, we were sleeping horizontal!  The time difference is 14 hours ahead of SLC and 12 hours ahead of NYC.

More to come.
PS.  Due to travel, we lost a day.  Normally, this would not be a big issue, but that day was October 15th.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY SALLY!  We did not forget your birthday, even though we lost your day.

PPS.  Dave just blew out his razor...half-way through his beard trim....bye, bye beard.
