Well the story started in 1995, when Julie and Katie met at Purdue. After graduating, they both ended up in the same city and their friendship continued on. In 2002, Katie moved to Hong Kong to teach English at a Chinese School. (She taught with Nikelle who is still living there.) After teaching for a year in HK, Katie moved back to the States. Of course being the storyteller that she is, Katie shared many stories and pictures with Julie for the next few years. Both gals are big on traveling, so it wasn't hard to decided that they wanted to travel to Hong Kong together. Julie to see the sights for the first time, and Katie to see them again, but as a tourist rather than a resident. We will be staying with Nikelle for the week.
Below is the itinerary-to-date. If you are reading this and you have suggestions on things we should see and do, please leave us a comment.
