As all of these adventures start; long flights. Our departure from SFO was at 1AM, Sunday, 21Oct. 14 hours, 4 movies and 4 hours of sleep later, we arrived in Hong Kong. I would only recommend the animated films; Brave and Madagascar III. A short layover in Hong Kong, then the final flight to Phnom Penh. The final leg is where I am writing this today.
Hong Kong International Airport is the gateway to Asia; one of the biggest airports in the world
Breakfast on board our DragonAir flight to Phnom Penh. An Asian flair, but with western utensils. Starting tonight, no more knives, spoons and forks, chop sticks for the duration.
Preparation for this trip went smoothly. Gloria and I have done this enough that we have a mini dental office boxed in our basement. Since this trip will be extractions only, the instruments and supplies can be carried in two suitcases.
The case on the right contains all our instruments and supplies that we will be bringing back with us. The suitcase on the left carries the disposables. Anything not used, including the suitcase, stays in Cambodia.
All the missioners are flying in today, tomorrow we start work in the local orphanage. Physicians will be doing exams, the pharmacy team will be passing out meds and Gloria and I , with a Cambodian dentist will be extracting teeth and doing cleanings.
