“You can’t always get what you want” at least that’s what Mick Jagger says. As this is our first full day in Hong Kong, I wanted to get out with the girls and play in the hotel pool and the park nearby, while Chris checked in with the Expedia office located here to fulfill his work obligations. Unfortunately, we woke up this morning to a gray steady rain, which has persisted all day. At first, I was more than a little disappointed. What was I going to do with two bored children stuck in a hotel room all day long? As usual, the Universe knows better than I. In retrospect, I am so thankful for a quiet, rainy day. We’re all tired, down to our bones. The girls took the morning to construct a fort under the desk in their room using pillows and their Chinese umbrellas. They played together beautifully for a really long time. I had some quiet, a shower and time to make a much needed phone call. After lunch, we watched movies, and took naps. So, I guess Mick was right. You can’t always get what you want. But sometimes, you get what you need.
