Hong Kongers braced for the worst as Typhoon Usagi approached Sunday night. Luckily, the T-8, equivalent to a category 5 hurricane, changed course at the last minute leaving HK a little sore, but not beaten down.
Unfortunately, our luck is China's loss. It has been reported so far that over 20 people lost their lives in Southern China due to this storm. Not to mention Taiwan and the Philippines who were at the receiving end of thebegining of the crazy storm.
Over 600 miles wide, this was the largest storm to hit HK since the early 80s and the biggest storm of the year on earth.
We did not take any chances with this typhoon. Kyle booked us a room at the airport Marriott, we prepared the apartment as best we could and headed off the soon to be locked down area of Discovery Bay.
Kyle definitly turned lemons into lemonade. We all enjoyed room service, an indoor heated pool and a luxurious room. Plus, we were out of harms way, with an escape plan to a hospital in case of labor and the biggest plus was the hotel's sound proofing. The kids had no idea just how windy and rainy it was through the night and there was no need to fear.
Charlie enjoyed a big deep bathtub immediately. While Hoyer set up a fort on the couch for the night!
