So long Hong Kong!

        Hello friends and family!
I write to you from my cozy ship cabin, the lights of Hong Kong fading in the horizon, our bow aimed for Vietnam. I had the utmost incredible time in China, never having a dull moment. From the colorful Shanghai skyline to a frigid campout on the Great Wall, I soaked up the best of what China had to offer. I hate to be leaving after a great 7 days but Ho Chi Minh City is making my adventure taste buds tingle.
        The past 7 days have consisted of nonstop fun and amazement and also very little sleep. I regret to tell that at this very moment I am incredibly out of this world beyond the universe exhausted and fear that I will not be able to type much longer. However, as always, I promise to you that an action packed, nail biting, heart stopping, jaw dropping, (insert adjective of your choice here), post is on its way and shall arrive at some point tomorrow (Feb 24th for me). I have lots and lots to tell you about a truly incredible adventure in one of the world’s most fascinating countries. But until then my soul is on it’s hands and knees begging for some sleep and I have no choice but to succumb to its needs. I will leave you with one of my favorite photos from the past week just to make you want more! I have well over 250 just from my Beijing trip alone so hold on to your hats. As usual I miss everyone very much and hope that everything at home is nothing shy of perfect. More tomorrow!

PS I just realized that this is the end of day 37 of this trip. If someone has seen those days or know where they have gone please let me know. Home in 70 days…
