It’s about 6:00am and we are at a hotel near the airport in Roanoke, VA.  Cindy, Kylie, David, and I will head over to the airport to catch our flight in about 30 minutes.  We are all flying to Chicago O’Hare where we will meet up with Keith and Nolan.  From there, we begin the more than 16 hour flight to Hong Kong.  In the process, we’ll cross the International Date Line and loose several hours.  I won’t be able to post again until we arrive in Hong Kong on Monday evening around 6pm.  Once we get settled in our hotel, I’ll see if I can’t get something up to bring you up to date on the flight.

Already this is a much easier trip than two years ago.  The freight went our quickly and with much better organization than last time; and we don’t have an 8 hour layover anywhere in the U.S. – direct flight to Hong Kong.
