Friday

Friday morning we got up, went to the breakfast buffet, which we loved, but Ethan had no interest in. He eats a ton at every other meal, but so far hasn’t wanted to eat any breakfast. We’ll take an orange back to the room with us, and as soon as we get there, he’s ready to eat it. Friday was supposed to be a very full day of traveling. Our guide brought us to the airport and got us checked in for our flight to Hong Kong. We had a couple of hours layover in Hong Kong then boarded our long 15 hour flight to Chicago. After sitting on the plane for 4 hours, they postponed our flight until the next morning due to mechanical difficulties. By that time, there were no more flights. The airline was putting everyone up in a hotel, but only the first class passengers were allowed to stay at the hotel that is attached to the airport and they said they only had 10 rooms available there. They were bussing everyone else into Hong Kong to stay. We knew that by the time we took a bus for over an hour, got checked into a hotel, then had to get up early to get back to the airport, we would only be in the hotel for a few hours, luckily, we called my dad and he made us a reservation at the attached hotel. We walked over and were able to get one of the rooms, dinner and breakfast from the airline. We also were able to speak with a pediatric neurosurgeon on the phone, he said we would be fine traveling, but to bring him into the ER as soon as we got home for a CT scan.
Now on to Saturday.
