Dearest family
So I am here! I made it and all is well! The ride was... well really long. I did get up once though so I wouldn't get thrombosis but I guess it wasnt enough because when I took my shoes off today when we reached the hotel my ankles were completely swollen. They're cankles!! Big old pregnant woman ankles. They didn't hurt much till now though so everything is all well. All my luggage arrived safely which was great. We got to our hotel around the afternoon and it is fantastic! It is very nice. I'm rooming with Jadie here in the hotel and Emily and Raychel are rooming together. We had the day free to do whatever we wanted and so guess what the four of us decided.... we went to Disney Land!!!!! Yeah thats right! The happiest place in the world! It was so much fun! Plus we didn't get lost and we exchanged out own money and rode the subway it was very interesting. They don't back it as tightly as they do on youtube which was good. The day was great, riding lots of many rides! We're all a little tired right now though. Even though it is only 7 o'clock here it is around 4 am there so we're feeling it. Tomorrow we're heading on a tour in the morning with an English guide and then we are allowed the rest of the day off. I think we decided mostly just to go see the Temple and we might even go get massages! We'll see though. Hong Kong is great. It is huge, not as humid as I thought either. There are lots of people and although they cut in lines they are nice for the most part. Anyway we had to pay to get internet for a hour so we only have 15 minutes to write so my time is just about up. Just know that all is well on the other side of the world. We're having lots of fun but are thinking of you guys often. I miss you and lots you lots! Give Abby a kiss for me! I'll write again as soon as I can
Love always, Mandy
