Hong Kong 4/17/17

We flew out of San Fransisco at 1:30 am.  Stayed up to try to force sleeping on the plane.  We arrived in Hong Kong at 7 am Hong Kong time.  Think I slept about 30 minutes on the flight.  I just can't sleep sitting up.  C was able to lay across to seats in our row and get some sleep.

Hong Kong is amazing!  Flying in you see construction is going on everywhere.  Must have been 50-60 ships drilling piers to expand next to the airport.  Hong Kong has more skyscrapers than New York.  I think on average they are probably taller too.  Lots of traffic and people everywhere.  Got to our hotel, Shangri-La (Kowloon), is gorgeous.  Must be either 4 or 5 star.  Got to the hotel about 9 and after a brief meeting went to our room.  Back down to meet at 10:30 and got our scavenge book and hit the pavement scavenges.

Went to bed after midnight with last minute packing.  Got up at five to be timely for our 7:10 flight.  Marnie was nice enough to drop us by six.  We thought it safest to let Madeline sleep and say goodbye electronically. Flight was direct on Virgin America.  Plane was less than half full.  Young woman next to me was leaving Austin after a bacherlotte party trip.  Once we were airborne she moved to an empty row to sleep.  I read a little and did the same.  I told Catherine (C) to do the same.  I can't sleep sitting up, but being able to lay down was able to get some rest.  C did not listen to me and watched shows.  As a result she was fighting off sleep, with mixed results, so she could see her first views of
