I’m flying to Hong Kong today, invited to watch a major Chinese domestic gymnastics competition. I’ll be there for about 10 days.

Already booked to hike with a local day #1.

And my first trip to Manilla has been confirmed. I’ll be volunteer teaching a gymnastics clinic Nov. 30 – Dec 5th for the IOC. … And staying on a couple of weeks on my own.

It’s Christmas on the left coast for the first time. My parents are hosting in Parksville.
