OK, It's not working out. I'm coming home.

Well, the make-long-blog-entries bit isn't going so well, I'm living my life faster than I can write about it.

Here's the executive summary.

Day 1. Saturday. We get on plane(s) and fly to Hong Kong.

Day 2. Sunday. We get on train and cross the border to Shenzhen. We get ripped off in several ways, but that's okay. It's a fun day.

Day 3. Monday. We rip off a taxi driver. Take tour around island, go on sampan ride, awesome bus ride up Victoria Peak where sky is murky. Eat offal for dinner.

Day 4. Tuesday. Kerri and DD return to Shenzhen. I leave DS to vegetate with cable TV to see our ship come in. Which it does. I buy software unlocked iPhone. Girls return from Communist China laden with shopping success. Hillary's speech is viewed in public with deep interest. Nobody here will vote for her. Hillary dolls sold on street corners at huge prices for people to take home and destroy in inventive ways.

Day 5. Wednesday. Today. In half an hour we'll take offspring to airport train, wave goodbye, then run giggling through Hong Kong to ship, where we will board and harass the steward for real coffee with real milk.

Noooooooo!!!!! If an expert traveller like you can't keep up with blogging while you flit around the world, what hope have I got?

But having so much fun you don't have time to write about it is always a good thing :-)

I'll catch up onboard. Having one room inhibits me a bit, as I don't like turning on even dimly glowing lights, making noise etc to write at night. On ship I'll have more time, and at three in the morning I can presumably take laptop and go somewhere quiet.

But yeah, my advice is to prewrite blog entries to save time.

prewrite???

Funny you should mention this. We've just received word that our packages from Shenzhen have arrived, so we'll check out of this hotel and go over to the ship, where internet will be expensive satellite.

Yeah, some typos or word switches are deliberate. Some are accidental. Most get mist.
