Pre-departure update

---

It's two days before my departure to Hong Kong. I have been spending the last couple of weeks getting all the things I need for my trip including travel adapters, business clothes, business cards, and so much more. Today, I will start putting all these things into my large suitcases.

My travel arrangement to Hong Kong consist of a flight from Phoenix to Los Angeles leaving Thursday at 10:10am. From LA, I will be getting on a 15+ hour flight to Taiwain and then getting on a 3-4 hr flight to Hong Kong. I will be arriving in Hong Kong at 11:30pm on June 11th. I am staying at a hotel, the Regal Oriental, on this night and will be checking into my residence for the summer, City University of Hong Kong Student Housing, on June 12th.

I will keep you posted with how my travels go!

I can't believe your actually gone! I missed your skype last night but I am hanging on my computer waiting for you! You must be so tired after your flight! I want to hear about it and Taiwan and your hotel in Hong Kong. Skype me! Love you! Mom

Thanks for all the happy thoughts! I am having such a great time already. I have had the first few days to get adjusted and explore the city. I start my internship tomorrow (Tuesday). I am so excited and will let you know how it all goes. The food is definitely interesting. Lots of rice and noodles and some odd ingredients. The flavors are different so I never know what to expect out of each meal. I ordered sausage with my breakfast the other day and got 2 hot dogs! haha I am already missing American food.
