I’m back in Asia for the first of three planned trips in
2017. I had about 2 weeks to prepare for
this trip, it was rather unexpected but necessary. Preparing for an Asia trip over Christmas and
New Year’s along with my youngest 2nd birthday was not particularly
easy. I had some last minute panics
about putting together a professional wardrobe for 60-70 degree weather, shoes
needed bought as my last pair had quite literally cracked in the soles and my 2nd
pair still looked good but the padding had worn down inside and became
unbearable to wear after a day of walking.
So I went on a desperate quest for shoes the day before my flight and
I’m very happy with the slip on shoes that can be worn with or without
stockings.
My trip began on a Monday which was a wonderful change from
my normal Saturday departure. It’s nice
to only lose one weekend from the middle of the trip. I arrived on Tuesday night in Hong Kong and
spent the night at my favorite hotel in Kowloon. I was not required to be anywhere the next
morning so I took my time getting ready and arrived around 10am.
During the day we visited my favorite market to pick up food
for our trip to China. I find that if
I’m well stocked with breakfast items, I don’t have to stress about what the
hotel is offering.
We left for China on Wednesday evening, arriving at 9pm and
I’m not required to meet my co-worker until 9:30. I slept from 11-6 and am excited to have 3.5
hours to read, write and eat breakfast.
Think of it – no one needs me!
It’s a very small luxury these days of which I’m going to relish. If you’ll note on my blog, there have been no
posts since November. That’s what
happens when work ramps up and I work from home. Virtually no personal time! I’m not complaining, I adore my four little
darlings but it sure is nice to have some personal quiet time.
