Hello from Hong Kong

After the most hectic week I think we have ever had, we are finally on our way.  The removalists were in on Wednesday and Thursday and we barely managed to keep a step ahead of them, they even packed Steve's clothes for the rest of the week and we had to go through several boxes to get them out.  We had a few more farewells with some final drinks at the KI on Friday night with a few good friends, and we even dropped in home on Saturday morning to have a last swim in our pool despite the windy weather.  Finally we said farewell to Karratha but it just felt like another plane flight, like going on a holiday.

We met up with Taylor in Perth, there were tears of joy and sadness as TJ was happy to be joining us but also sad to say goodbye to Alyssa especially.  Just after midnight we took off and shortly after we fell asleep, except for Cooper who was the last to nod off after watching three kids movies on his TV.  We awoke this morning to be told that we had flown at a lower altitude all night due to some windscreen damage and as a result couldn't make it to Hong Kong; instead we landed in Manila, changed planes and then flew on to Hong Kong.  We are here now feeling tired and yukky, in a couple of hours we will be back on the plane again for another overnight flight to Vancouver.
