We made it to Hong Kong

We have arrived and just had our first night's sleep in Hong Kong.  It was a very long day and we were thankful to see the bed!  We left our house in KC at 8:30 am and arrived at our hotel at 1 am (which is around 1 pm in KC).  We had a 29 hour travel day and were exhausted!!!  Although we had a few little bumps along the way, for the most part the flights were uneventful.  Tai did throw up on our first flight to Chicago.  Poor guy, I think he was as anxious and nervous just like his parents and it finally got the best of him.  He was happy and felt fine afterwards.  He did so good on the flights and Jason and I were so proud of him.  He did ask A LOT how much longer and that did get kinda old.  We are thankful for the iphone, ipad, and computer- they were lifesavers!!!!!  Tai loved his brand new iphone all loaded with  new games and videos.  We had a power charger for all these devices and couldn't have made the flight without it.  When it was time for bed, we put on Tai's jammies, brushed his teeth and made him a little bed on the floor.  He slept great for over 6 hours (thanks to Melantonin)!  We also splurged and upgraded our seats to economy plus so we  had extra leg room and the bulk head row.  That was AMAZING!  So worth every penny!!!

Today we are just now getting up and will shower and head out to find some breakfast.  We have a tour set up and they will pick us up at one.  So we are off to start our adventure!  3 more sleeps til Gotcha Day!!!!!!!

BTW - for my friends still waiting to travel. We are staying at the Prince in HK and it is very nice!!!  The beds are actually comfy:)
