Hong Kong trip (Day1)

The travelling to HK took about 3 hours and 10 min with 1,556 miles, means it was the longest period Sophie has been in the airplane. Of course.. she was restless and crying a lot because of the. There are othe babies out there who had the same as Sophie. We had travel to HK for our 2nd anniversary on the 14-17th May,2009 from the package we bought in MATTA Fair. The package includes with ½ day tour to some attractions in HK Island and the mainland, 5* hotel, free tix to Madame Tussauds,free 2 MRT card (1 day full pass) and return air tix. Which I would say, the vacation was great, and even great with the travel guide sent us to every attraction (since it was our 1st time travelling to this country) and it was perfect with Sophie around.

Travelling with her obviously made us happy yet it was tiring. Fortunately I’ve brought the baby sling so baby wearing made our trip much effortless in handling Sophie. Obviously, she was always trying to get free from being stranded in baby wearing all day long but, we couldn’t bear to get her walked around especially, during this H1N1 spreading out. As such, you could have imagined how worried we were but there’s nothing we could do, unless we had to cancel the ticket. We were almost thinking to cancel it, and since we had a consultation from her pediatrician, we were hoping it won’t affect Sophie and Alhamdulillah, with taken some precaution during the trip; we had successfully come home with H1N1 free!!

Here are the summary of the trip

Day 1
LCCT – AirAsia to HKong International Airport, taken to Royal Plaza Hotel by our agent – next thing we did is tido since it’s already 8pm. It was nice to see some night view in HK especially when we have seen the world's seventh-longest span suspension bridge, Tsing Ma Bridge. The bridge was named after two of the islands. It was exhausting; need to revive some energy before the tour tomorrow. We were fortunate having to stay in this 5 stars hotel which the hotel was comfy, with the nice bathroom where Sophie always couldn’t wait to spend her bath time in the bath tub, and the service was good. This hotel actually located in the middle of Mongkok town and easily reaches by the MRT. It also attached together with shopping complex, I think sort of MValley in here. So location wise, it’s brilliant we have had book this hotel with the agent. Made the journey quite easy.
