Although we were tempted by some of the other offerings- I went for good old Won-Ton -- and it worked! Click on Photo to see pictures from our first day...sort of, we didn't leave the hotel yet....Update Friday: Thank you for all your good wishes for a speedy recovery. Lesson learned: Do not crash out on a comfortable but very, very, firm bed after 16 hours of flying. Then jump right out of bed. Stick to the plan--go for a walk instead! Thanks again.
