It’s nearly noon and a few families are here. The Pittsburgh families arrived earlier, and one of the New York families just got here.

Let me interject here that I am not used to typing on a laptop, so I am making lots of typos. Forgive any mistakes…

At this point, we are just waiting and talking. It’s a little foggy, but the plane is already at the gate, so we don’t have to worry about that.

Will continue later..

It’s later. Everyone is here, and we should be boarding the plane in about twenty minutes. Angela is trying out a new career as a camera op and is filming everyone right now. She is playing documentarian.

I am starting to get pretty punchy right now. I’m not tired so I think it is excitement. It is a little hard to explain, but it is finally starting to seem real right now.

I am resetting my watch and the time on the computer for Hong Kong. The next time I write, we will be there!
