I leave for the airport in about 3 hours or so. They have been telling us over and over again that one of the most important things to remember is flexibility and we had our first test yesterday when they told us our flight itinerary had changed. Everything got worked out. We fly to San Fransisco first and have a 3 hour layover before we leave for a 15 hour flight to Hong Kong. We have the opportunity to hang out in Hong Kong for a bit during the 9 hour layover there. We'll be shopping a little bit in the city and eating an authentic dim sum lunch! Then we'll hop on our last flight to Colombo by way of Singapore (this is about a 9 hour flight). All in all we'll be in the air for 26 hours and we'll be arriving in Colombo at about 11 pm on Friday (9:30 am west coast time).
We haven't even left yet and I am already overwhelmed by response to this trip that people have shown. I am so thankful for the prayers- I am sure my mom is too! :) She has been telling me how many people have been asking about this trip and I feel honored to share my experiences. Please feel free to e-mail me while I am gone. I am not sure how much I will be able to respond, but I will do my best :) suess.laura@gmail.com
Thanks again for all the encouragement!
Oh... My amazing grandpraents drove up from Salem, OR to attend our send off party yesterday. Thanks to them for taking the time to drive up and for my last American dinner for 4 weeks!
I tried commenting before but II guess ti didn't let me. When you get get dim sum, beware the bread. The Chinese cannot resist making bun without putting some kind of surprise in the middle. And the chicken feet are gross too.
