Ok I got side tracked in my last post because I started thinking about the puppies I saw today so let me start over…
It’s 3am now and I’ve packed my bag for the 3rd time. First time it was packed full, 2nd time I had to shift things around for the extra stuff we bought today, and 3rd time I took out a bunch of old clothes and my ratty converses to toss out because I can live without a few pairs of socks with holes in them and faded tshirts.

I gave this exit trip a lot of thought today. Because I have to go back to work the morning after we get back to Minneapolis, I’m going to be jet lagged by 14 hours. So 8am central is going to feel like 10pm HK time. I bought a cup of very strong coffee at 9pm tonight and I’m hoping it can keep me up the entire night.

The flight is at 11, we have to be at the airport at 8, which means take the bus from Sha Tin before 7 which will be a challenge because we have all of Kimberly’s stuff that we hauled over to our uncle’s place before the big trip to bring down to the bus station and through the airport to check in.

I’m really hoping this no-sleep plan will work so I will knock out immediately on the 13 hr plane ride back to the states. I’m physically exhausted from a very busy day but my mind is jittery and wide awake so here goes nothing…*cheers* (raised cup of coffee)
