It takes moving to China for us to visit NY!

We have booked our hotel room and flight.  So it’s official we are taking a long/short trip back to the land of aisles of cereal, variety of people and food, stores and restaurants that take credit cards, high standards and great expectations.  While at home I plan on restocking our “American Food” pantry and bringing back some necessities for my friends here…baby formula is like GOLD.  Goal number 1 is to complete the paperwork for our resident’s visa and pick up our letter of invitation from the Chinese Government.  Goal number 2 see people we didn’t think we would see for another year or so (this time no good-byes...been there done that…only happy times).  Goal number 3 see as much of NY as we can (Adam hasn’t been before).  Goal number 4 FOOD!  That includes shopping in a proper grocery store and eating at non Chinese Chinese restaurants (I’m talking about the Chinese restaurants in China…not American Chinese food…we will defiantly stop off for some general sou’s chicken or maybe even some PF Changs). 

Here is our itinerary:  Leave Hong Kong at 9:15 Friday morning (our time) take a stop in Detroit and arrive in NY 5:30 EST.  Hang out in NY until Tuesday morning at 8:15 when we fly to Raleigh NC.  We leave Raleigh on Saturday at 12:30 and we will arrive back in Hong Kong at 7:00 pm our time.
