Full Circle

I know it's cliche, but it really is crazy how time flies. I've come full circle in my travels having spent the last week in Hong Kong where it all started (on this side of the world at least!). I'm hopping on a plane this afternoon that takes me to Chicago where I get to spend 24 hours with Jennie before catching my flight home to Boston. An odd layover you might say, and you'd be right. Not that I mind, but clearly I was not paying close enough attention when I was booking my original flight. Turns out I need to look at dates and not just times. ;)

It's been great hanging out with my family and staying put. Some thing that I'd not thought about missing was not thinking twice about drinking water from the tap and eating anything and everything I felt like...definitely don't have to do that here! Turns out I had pretty good timing on my return. My grandmother just had knee surgery (she was fired up after hearing about Jennie's grandmother's 2 knee replacement surgeries and had it done while I was away) so I've spent some quality time with her in physical therapy and getting her active around the house. Other than that I could probably cut and paste my first entry from Hong Kong. I've done plenty of eating, resting, running, shopping, roaming, playing with my two little cousins, tv watching, beach time, and I think you get the picture. :)
