The limo (a stretch white one) arrived at 8am and we got to the airport in plenty of time to check in and get through security. Then we had a little McD’s snack and boarded the plane.
I wonder what is going through Cai Hong’s (aka Taylor) mind right now. If she’s dreaming (since it’s 12:10am there) about what the next days and weeks and years will be like for her. I wonder if they have brought her back to the SWI to prepare her or if she will come straight from her foster family. I guess we’ll find out in a few days. We meet her on Monday!
What we ate today:
Breakfast at the airport: McD’s – pancakes, cinnamon melt, whales, egg sandwich
Flight to Newark: small ham or turkey sandwich, Ruffles, Twix
Flight to Hong Kong: several different snacks/meals
Then came the L-O-N-G flight from Newark to Hong Kong. What can I say? It’s just a bear! We had 3 seats together and 1 separate, so John took the single seat. It was supposed to be an aisle seat but a woman asked him to switch so that she and her daughter could sit together, so he ended up in the middle. What a nice guy, huh?
The girls did as well as can be expected. The plane had the individual entertainment things so we could choose our own movies, etc. About half-way through the flight, Chelsea got a little antsy to get off but then when we had about 5-6 hours to go, we all fell asleep so that made the time pass more quickly. Unfortunately, about an hour before we were to land, I started to feel a little sick and ended up making use of the barf bags, which I have never done in my life. I think it was the couple bites of a turkey dog that I took earlier.
After landing in Hong Kong at about 7pm their time, we went through Immigration, collected our bags, walked through customs and found a taxi to the hotel.
We are staying at Disney Hollywood Hotel. We got checked in by about 9pm (I think) and then had a snack in one of the restaurants. Well actually, I didn’t have a snack, just a Sprite, but the girls had spaghetti and John had a fruit plate. Of course, being Disney, everything is about The Mouse, even the watermelon and cantalope are cut in the shape of Mickey!
