Wednesday

Today we had our appointment at the Consulate and I have to say I was pretty surprised at how well it went. For some reason I thought we would be there for awhile and the people would be sort of uptight. Not at all. We were all in and out in about an hour and everyone could not have been nicer. We all took our oath for our children, they reviewed our paperwork and said our visas would be ready tomorrow afternoon. Once we receive them we will be leaving for Hong Kong and meeting an old friend of ours at our hotel there. It will be nice to see Tim as we have not seen him in a few years. He used to work with me but now works and lives in Hong Kong.

The rest of the day we walked through some shops near the hotel and hung out in our room playing with Tia. She loves to play on the floor or bed with us. It is amazing how much she has grown in only a week and a half.

We had dinner with John, Stacy, Grace and Conrad. We went to Sabah which we have gotten take-out from several times. It serves Malaysian cuisine which was very good. We decided to eat there instead of take it back to the hotel. It was quite nice.

This may be the last post until we get home. Thanks for following our journey and I will post when we get home!
