Dim Sum in Hong Kong

We wandered the streets of Hong Kong, not sure where to go during our 12 hour layover. We managed to buy some beautiful silk from Thailand and two Chinese silk jackets and some cute red Chinese baby shoes that squeak. The dogs are going to love following Shaela around. We ate dim sum at a restaurant recommended by our shopping guide book, it was quite delicious and fresh. Apparently, goose is the delicacy of this area, but we did not partake this visit.

We decided to keep our carryon luggage rolling luggage with us walking around the city. But I (Justin- who agreed to carry the luggage around) didn't think Hong Kong city streets had quite this many steps!! My mantra is: this is upper body strength to train for carrying a toddler and all the stuff that comes with a toddler (diaper bag, stroller....)

Wherever we go, there are the cutest little babies and little girls. We try to guess their weight and see if they would be comparable to Shaela's size. I can't wait to see her. At the airport I saw a mom, no larger than 90 lbs carrying a girl about 40 lbs. This gave me hope that I would be able to carry Shaela around.

With very tired feet we came back to the airport and went to a store selling foot massagers. We wound up buying an electrical unit that stimulates acupuncture points and relieves tight muscles.

We are looking forward to sleeping in a bed tonight at the Royal Garden Hotel in Guilin. We want to be well rested for Shaela.

With Love to all,

Debbie and Justin
