In Hong Kong Airport

We had to get up real early to get to the airport at Guangzhou for our 8:35 am flight to Hong Kong. We have a long layover and will get to Chicago at 6:55 pm (Chicago time) tonight. The airport has some beautiful views of the mountains and the South China Sea. I may be able to blog tonight in Chicago if Kristy doesn't wear us out too much. Thanks for all of your comments, today is the first we have been able to read them. China's Great Firewall has been blocking our view.
