Last Post for 2012

Final post for 2012.  Patrick got to the US on Thursday, and Gwen arrived Saturday.   We will be spending a week working in Minneapolis before heading to South Carolina to spend the holidays with Patrick's family and Gwen's parents who are traveling down from Pennsylvania.  We will be on blog hiatus for a few weeks.

But I wanted to post the last few pictures from HK.

We had a new team member start on Monday - which means Dim Sum for lunch.  I have been trying to get a good picture of the Dim Sum ordering process.  Here is Sonic ordering for the table:

Monday night I did some visiting and shopping with some team members from Mpls.  Before heading to the night market, we went to my bosses apartment on the 69th floor of a complex close to the harbor - pretty cool views.

Night market is the bright street in the center of the photo.

Closer shot - the market is probably 5 blocks long.

Looking toward our place.

Looking across the harbor with Kowloon park in the front (dark patch).

 One last Hong Kong Holiday Funny.

Snowmen made with only heads....

Then it was time to head across the Pacific (for Patrick's flight to Tokyo on to Mpls) or over the North Pole (for Gwen's flight to Chicago on to Mpls).

Gwen's ride over the North Pole.

It was Gwen's first Trans-Pacific flight in coach class.  She made it safe and sound, and stayed awake until midnight on Saturday.   Helps to kick the jet-lag.

For those of you who have only flown business - this is the lunch you were missing :)

When she hit the ground; the 1st stop was - you guessed it  - TARGET.  Primarily because Gwen packed no toiletries and knew she could pick it all up when she got there....

Happy Holidays from the Anderson's - see you in 2013.
