Hello all,
Well, I wish I had something exciting to tell you, but I don't. No news is good news.
We are headed to China this weekend to observe inventory counts at some of our manufacturing sites this weekend. We realized on the way home from dinner tonight it will be the first time we have been separated on this trip. We are not going to China alone - three people from the Finance department will be accompanying us to the sites, which is a VERY GOOD THING. As we have literally spent every waking moment together, it was funny to realize we would miss each other. In the land far away from home, we have become each other's security blankets..and it will be very strange to be apart. We truly have had a great time together - hard to believe we have been gone for 2 weeks! I should also add that it is only the weekend we will be separated - we are splitting up after we get to Shanghai. Somehow, Charna and I will manage to survive without Bruce. It will be hard, but we will overcome.
The general feeling is that after this weekend, this trip will fly by. We bid farewell to the bellhop Ishmail for this trip - he is going on leave because his daughter is getting married on Saturday. He is the bellhop that claps his hands and the cab comes over and picks us up. He calls Bruce "Mr Bruce" and is always very fast with a handshake for him. He opens mine and Charna's doors and always takes our computer bags out of the trunk. We assured him we would be back after next week and would see him again. This week in China will be a little rougher as we will move hotels twice and then travel again on Friday to Hong Kong. We have gotten very comfortable at the Regent over the past 15 days - not a bad place to come home to every night on the road!
I hope everyone is well - we are doing just fine. Grammie tells me little Chel had a visitor that took her to the park to chase her kong. Rumor has is she chased her pink kong like a wild thing and then was so tired the next day she had to sleep all day! It made mom's day. She is a good girl and mom misses her. There will be lots of bonding (and a few new toys) when mom gets home!
Stay warm - not a problem for us! ~Nicole :)

Singapore is winding down, you have things well in hand, readying for the next phase of you work and adventure.
Ohio is fine albeit a lot colder a/ snowier lately. We enjoyed taking Chel out to dust off the cob webs. Onyx really missed her. Fun was had by all, plan to repeat a few more x's. She does love her Kong. No wonder my arm was sore.
