We're back on US soil.  We left our hotel at 5:00 AM on August 5 but our plane was delayed so we waited on the plane for about 2 hours before they finally took off.  We were going to be late getting to our connecting flight in Hong Kong but they held it as our plane had 50 of their passengers waiting to board it.  We took off only 1 hour late and arrived in Los Angeles at 12:00 noon on August 5.  Now, most people would assume the process only took about 7 hours but factor in the time change and crossing the international date line and it was actually about 22 hours.  We're setting up shop at Noah and Bailey's for a few days while we try to find our wits and then will be heading back to Morris on Wednesday very early in the morning.
