The day before yesterday, we arrived back in the Bay Area from Hong Kong. There is so much I have to say and show you about this trip, but for now I’ll just say: it was wonderful.
View from our hotel room, first morning in HK.
I took more than 600 pictures, made a few sketches, and wrote as much as I could every day (which sometimes meant only a hasty bullet-pointed half-page in the evening). I’m still very jet-lagged — it doesn’t help that we had to drive down to San Jose yesterday so we could take my parents to the airport at 5 this morning, for their vacation — and so I’m holding off on blogging and posting pics, so I can do them full justice when I’m a little more coherent.
The plan is as follows: six entries on my LiveJournal for each of the six full days we had in HK, bookended by an introductory post and a concluding one. That makes eight days of entries, and I’ll upload photos to flickr as I go. Probably this will amount to a mini-novel, but it’s as much a personal travelogue as a public account of our trip, and I think a first international journey is worth remembering in detail. 🙂
In the meantime, I’ll be doing my best to stay upright while my body works its way out of its jet lag!
ahhhhhhh i’ve been checking your blog regularly to see when you start posting again!!!
Hee thank you! 😀 The jet lag continues, so I don’t know when the next post will be. ;b I’m so tired of being dizzy. ;b
Good luck recovering from the jet lag, and I can’t wait to read all of your entries!
