It's a Home Run....Going....Going.....Gone!

Speaking of the Olympics….. it’s going to be a marathon on the way home and at one point, time will even stand still. We leave Hanoi for Hong Kong at 7:10p.m. on Wednesday, August 29th. We leave Hong Kong for L.A. at 11:35p.m. on Wednesday, August 29th. We arrive in L.A. on Wednesday, August 29th, at 9:50p.m…..we actually arrive in L.A. 1 hour and 45 minutes before we leave Hong Kong……Isn’t that how Superman saved Lois Lane’s life?.......as the world turns!

After arriving in L.A. at 9:50p.m., and squeaking through Customs and Immigration, we leave for Dallas on Thursday, August 30 at 1:00a.m. This jaunt gets us into Dallas at 5:50a.m. giving us time to catch our 6:55 a.m. flight back home, which arrives in Green Country at 8:00a.m. This puts us at the baggage claim hugging Cooper around 8:10a.m. on Thursday morning, August 30th!

(note to Cooper: Let your teacher know that you won’t be in School on Thursday.)

We really wanted to leave today, but we feel very blessed to have seats on tomorrow’s flights.

The family we had to leave behind in Ho Chi Minh City caught up with us today. We went with them to the Temple of Literature. It is the oldest University in Vietnam dating back to 1010. Google “Ha Noi Temple of Literature” and you’ll see much of what we experienced in person. After that, Laura & Joe (our long lost friends), took us on a wild goose chase to find this Vegetarian restaurant she heard about. I think there should be a rule that Vegetarians should not be able to lead wild goose chases. The good news is that we worked up a really good appetite before we found it. Even better news is that it was an excellent dining experience.

Well……It’s time for a good nights sleep. We have a really long day tomorrow. I’m sure it will feel like the clock will be standing still…..oh yea, it will.

Peace, Kirk
