china

we will be in CHINA tomorrow!

i never thought i'd say that!

i'm excited for hong kong, but even more for my overland trip to beijing and the great wall. i will be in hong kong for the first day (tomorrow) then fly our to beijing for four days before taking a sleeper train to shanghai, where we will meet up with the ship and spend our last day.

i am so so so excited, though the weather forecast has me nervous. i will be camping on the great wall and the weather is suspposed to be in the 30's with a chance of rain/snow. i thought i was skipping winter!! nonetheless, i'm excited. though, i may have mentioned that!

tomorrow's itinerary is up early, breakfast, diplomatic briefing followed by exploring hong kong. i hope to ride the tram up to victoria peak, so as to get a bird's eye view of the city. we will be docked in a mall, yes, IN a mall. literally, we will be walking off the ship into a mega-mall. i guess you could say people are excited about that.

hopefully the night market and stanley street are in the works for tomorrow, i'd love to see all the knock-off products. kelsey isnt much of a shopper, so we'll see how long it lasts.

we are also going out to dinner with one of rennika's cousins and her family. to a mexican restaurant! i'm excited! should be a great time. ren's family is excited to have us, they have only been in hong kong for a couple of months and are still adjusting.


i'm now off to bed, it is far too late. silly gossip girl dvds, cutting into my beauty sleep! love and kisses!
