We took another trip to Hong Kong, mainly to see the holiday lights. We had heard that the city was lit up like a Christmas tree, and indeed it was. We also planned to take a short tour to China, which will be the next section of this gallery. Suffice to say for now that while it was interesting, it turned out to be a disaster, and we were lucky to finally be able to get out of there.

I finally found my print pictures of all the foreign travel we did while posted with the State Department to Yokohama/Tokyo (1991-95) and our first tour in Turkey (1996-2000), including to Hong Kong, China, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Israel, Jordan and Germany. Since we can't really do any vacation travel these days, it's a nice trip down memory lane to revisit all those places we saw so long ago.
