We are packing up, mainly to keep busy until 4:30 this afternoon. That is when our guide will come back to the hotel and bring Jackson's passport with brand new travel visa. As soon as we get that, we're off to Hong Kong where we will spend the night and catch a plane tomorrow to Chicago.
That's where things might get interesting. I'm sure all of you are following the weather news around the China Sea but in case you aren't, typhoon Nesat slammed the Phillippines yesterday and killed at least 7 people. The first estimates projected it to hit the mainland very near Hong Kong but last night it was projected to travel farther to the south. Nesat now appears to be heading directly toward Haikou Island, then southwestern China and northern Vietnam but is expected to still impact Hong Kong with rain and high winds, you guessed it - tomorrow. We are praying that the loss of lives from the storm will be no more than has already happened. Selfishly we are praying that the impact of the storm around Hong Kong will be small so we can get out of here tomorrow. Hey, if you don't ask you can't expect it to be answered right? Fill you in later from Hong Kong.
