Hong Kong

We had an overnight layover in Hong Kong before we truly headed home.  It was great to see a small part of the City as we were just passing through.  Hong Kong Park was just a few minute walk from our hotel.  We walked through the park and took the Peak Tram to Victoria Peak.  It was a quick 10 minute tram ride to the top.  The views during the tram ride and once we arrived at the peak were breathtaking.  There was tons of stores/shopping and food vendors at the top as well.  It was an amazing, albeit short, trip.  

We made our way to the airport for our 13 hour flight to Dallas.  Lixia was a great traveler.  She slept on me for probably 6-7 hours of the trip.  She also watched some Disney movies to help pass the time.  Her only motionsickness was during the landing.  Despite being physically ill, she loves to fly or maybe it was just her destination.  She was so ready to be at home.  We arrived in Dallas as planned.  We had extra processing at U.S. Customs and Border Protection due to the adoption.  The special sealed packet was delivered and processed.  It actually did not take much time at all.  Lixia Marie Swing is now officially a U.S. citizen.

After an overnight layover, we continued on to Chicago and finally to Champaign to meet our welcoming crew.
