Part of our team (Tom, Nancy and Carla) has arrived in Hong Kong after an uneventful 14-hour flight from San Francisco. The rest of the group is still en route from Chicago following some delays, but we trust they'll be joining us here shortly. Another long layover before we depart for Vietnam, but no worries--Hong Kong Int'l Airport is spacious and comfortable, and we're enjoying some fellowship, catching up on e-mails and people watching. See you in Ho Chi Minh City!
