Wendy & I went to my Grandfathers place last year. We had a great time.

Coming up to the house.

I have visited my Grandfather’s cottage for the last 33 years. This is home to me. I am thankful.

I'll be ready to entertain.

24 Days Before Departure!

Cindy & Rafael drove to Orlando this weekend. Fortunately, we were able to hook up as Rafael had a four-day weekend. We spent a few hours relaxing & listened to our Cantonese CD’s when they arrived! (Nee ho ma? Mo ho ho! – We are still learning…) Hopefully Cindy & Rafael will be able to visit us while we are in Hong Kong.

After butchering the Cantonese language, we had an opportunity to dine at the Grand Floridian. We had a feast. Since we were so full, we decided to walk through the Magic Kingdom and see “Wishes”, the newest fireworks display at Disney. I must admit these fireworks were awesome.

I guess you must understand your past, before you can understand your future.All jokes aside, John McCurry, pictured here for Halloween, is one of the most thoughtful, sensitive, and creative guys I known. It would be an understatement to say I love this guy (even though he looks like this here). I think this post will remind me that we are pretty wacky in the USA, thus not to be quick to judge in China :)

Picture here: Wendita, Rafael, and Cindy. This was just before “Wishes.”
 

Thank You Jim

I figure this blog might be the best way capture my adventures in Hong Kong. I leave on 4/5/05, one day after our (Wendita & Jeffito 04/04/04) first year wedding anniversary. I'll be returning to the States 11/1/05.

I'll be staying at the Gold Coast Apartments. It looks like a great place http://www.goldcoast.com.hk

Chinese New Year 2004. Before I even knew I'd be moving to Hong Kong, our friend Lori invited us to Dim Sum at Ming Court in Orlando Florida. I must say that the Phoenix Claws were yummy! Pictured left to right: Michael, Jeffito, and Wendita.

The journey begins
