Back at the same internet PC in Hong Kong airport. Can't believe that it was 19 days ago that we landed full of excitement and anticipation, and we have certainly had a trip of a life-time. Amazing memories and great times had by all. The last night in Manila with Mei-Chiang, Kim-Hong (just flown in from Singapore) and Hendra, Rani and Nina, as well as Kim-Hong's brother Richard and family were a great way to close out the 3 weeks. Can't wait to post the pics once I get a USB port connection again.
We're in-transit from Manila to Chicago, connecting from Cebu Pacific Airlines to United. At first a bit leery of Cebu Pacific, we came to really love this new Asian airline. They are high spirited, young and no-nonsense, rather like our own Southwest Airlines. The cabin is full of lively chatter with groups of friends and maids travelling together. They even played games with prizes for the passengers. We were too slow on the uptake, but could have easily won one of the games where they asked for a picture of George Washington. I had $1 in my wallet, but couldn't reach it in time. One of the locals pulled out a $100 in the row in front of me. Don't believe that has old George on it, but they knew to look for US currency.
The TVs are full of the tragic news about the bridge in the Twin Cities. Have been thinking about all our friends and family in the north and wondering how this will be impacting them.
More from Chicago in 15 hours! Hope they have some good movies.

WOW - a grand vacation, and what fabulous memories for Daniel and Heidie, even though they might have preferred watching DVDs! They will remember this trip forever!
