Hong Kong

We are in Hong Kong and all I can say is WOW! We took the train and it was wonderful and only lasted about 1 1/2 hours so not much more time involved than if we flew and only paid about half. If we had purchased our own tickets after we got here we won't have paid nearly as much. I didn't know how to go about getting train tickets so we had our agency do it. We paid them over 3 times more than they paid and we still had to pay for them to take us to the station. This was one of the only things that I think they charged way to much for and I will speak to them about it after we get home.

We walked for about 2 hours last night and it is hot but beautiful! The walkway along the water is awesome. Alyssa went to sleep in the stroller but that is what she needed. We ran into a family that is living in HK right now but are from West Virginia. They are adoptive parents of two children, one from Kazakhstan and one from Ethiopia. The mom was in awe of Alyssa and her beauty. I could only agree. She is totally adorable and I could not be happier and feel so lucky to be her mom.

She is very active and really only is still while she sleeps or if we are moving in the stroller. She loves going for a walk and seeing all the people. I just hope she is not disappointed when we get home and go for a walk and don't see but one or two people. She is very interested in everything around her. We leave in 2 days for home and as much as we have enjoyed this trip we are looking forward to showing off our little treasure. She is everything I dreamed of!
