...I've put in my notice at work and we're working on plans to sell many things...
We've decided to move to Hong Kong to get to know the Chan family, learn more about the Chinese culture and get an Asian perspective of the US. Over the next few weeks we'll be packing up sentimental items, renting the house, selling cars and art. We're aiming to leave around September 15.
Before we leave for Asia we'll be visiting friends and family throughout the US. So you'll be hearing from me soon.
