Last Full Day in Illinois!

The last day before take off, and a day well spent at that. Low key and relaxing on my mom's birthday. The final pieces of the puzzle are falling into place, and I'm indulging in my favorite foods and beverages. Portillo's italian beef and vanilla milkshake for dinner, Aunt's Mary's amazing cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and french silk pie for dessert.

Hopefully my posts are more exciting once the adventure begins. I'm not promising to give you unbelievable stories like the nine o'clock news (hopefully my stories are more optimistic though), but I'll try to make my life in Hong Kong as action packed and full of adventure as possible.

The butterflies are starting to set in. I hope they let me into the country with this cold. I know what you're thinking and the answer is yes I am bringing health masks for the courtesy of others.
