Maybe the shortest trip to Hong Kong ever.

So, it sounds like my first adventure, on my trip will be trying not to get sent back to the U.S. from Hong Kong by immigration. When I bought my one-way ticket, the Chinese consulate said, "Sure, one-way tickets are fine". Then when I was confirming my plane ticket four days before I left, I was told that sure, that's something the consulate would say, but immigration will turn me right back around.

Well, we can only hope that this information may be distorted or exaggerated for various reasons unbeknownst to me. On the other hand maybe my trip to Hong Kong will last as long as it takes me to get a flight back to the United States. Whatever the case is, it’s going to be exciting.

Truly, I don't believe that there is a ton to worry about, but not knowing anyone who has ever traveled to Hong Kong on a one-way ticket, I won't know for sure until I get there.

I think I arrive in the morning on Tuesday, so I'll post as soon as I can to fill you in on what’s going on.

I know this is looking far ahead, but when you're ready to write a book about it, you know who your editor is. It will be so easy now that you've learned the proper structure of a sentence. And now I have fancy-dancey connections to get you published.

getting in would probably be more exciting than not, so good luck.

(p.s. i know you don't drink much but my mom and i found out the hard way that flying coach is unbearable without a few mini-bottles of wine. I assume you also bought a coach ticket. Next time we're going 1st class.)
