2 Weeks in Hong Kong

Ok, so the last trip to Hong Kong was 'supposed' to be Todd's LAST trip or wait was it the one before. Oh, I don't know.  Anyhow, when he was in Hong Kong just a week ago they mentioned they would like him to come back for just 2 more weeks to finalize the transition.  .  .  He said he would only if they would fly me out too.  He tried to get them to agree to the kids as well, but no. :(   

So, I am currently in Hong Kong with my LOVE!

We are super jet lagged.  25 hours of traveling from door to door.

Our original flight was set to leave Friday at 3:15pm.
However, on Friday we were notified it had been changed.
...  Essentially, our new flight was leaving at 1am Saturday morning.
Which did give me a little more time with my kiddos.
Thankfully, my Dad was out and was able to stay and help drive!
Thanks Dad!

Anyhow, us waiting to get on our flight.
Yay!  Finally, on the plane (5 hours after we got to LAX!)

Ok, the upside to the delayed flight...
We had our seats, by ourselves.  
Just two seats together! YAY!
We had a stop over in Taipei.
I wish it was longer than 2.5 hours, so we could have checked it out.
It looked pretty magical from the window of the plane



 However, all airports seem to look alike from the ground?!

f
We took a 'short cut' in the airport and I swear we were the only ones there!
 
From Taipei, it was just a 1.5 hour flight to Hong Kong 
and we landed at around 10am HK time.
If you are wondering that is about 7pm CA time.

International Planes are huge!
 

Oh at the airport, some things don't translate quite the same.
Todd and I were laughing 
Good ole' Homee Kitchen!

 and yes, Ziggy and Zoey came too!
 Just because, isn't he cute?!

Finally, in the hotel.
 Can't complain about the view.



They have a guest lounge on the 22nd floor, and it has a really awesome view.





 Yah, that's us.
Tired and all.

We kind of did a bad thing.
Normally, to help switch over to the 15 hours in the future time difference.  Tired or not, just stay up til bedtime...  We were sooo exhausted that we fell asleep between 3 and 4pm HK time and woke up before midnight (which is 6am CA time, our normal wake up time)...
Hmn, Monday is going to be interesting.

Wow! Glad you were able to go with Todd. Lucky girl! And, it is amazing to me that Kayla's HS graduating class had 700 graduates----more than our entire HS by about 350 people! Have fun.
