On our way home

Ann and I are in Hong Kong awaiting our flight back to North America. Due to using free tickets this is going to take awhile as we go to Vancouver first, then on to LA.

This morning we were at the Shanghai airport. The two gates next to ours were being used for Team USA so we got to see Sara again. Even after a short night the kids were wired, glad I am not on that aircraft on the way home. I suspect with only a 13 hour flight and their last bite of time together they won't sleep.

As we suspected Sara was unwilling to trade her Team USA jacket. Many of her team mates did and had jackets from Korea, Japan and Israel and I am sure many more.

Now that I am out of China I can again read the blog. I have read the comments and thank everyone for being there for Sara.

The other good news is near as I can tell none of our group came down with the malady that befell Grandpa Charlie's shipmates in 1947. It must run in the family as I think that Ann spent most on my money on trinkets.
