Planning another overseas trip - Part I

We are in the midst of preparing for our 2nd overseas trip together on the jetplane as a family. This time round, we are going to H O N G K O N G! *shouts hooray*

Yea, the last time we visited Hong Kong was so many years back. I bet HKG has changed a lot and I can't wait to go there and see and feel for ourselves. Love HKG and am damn looking forward to the trip. *excited*

We've tentatively fixed the date to travel on the 3rd week of October . Hopefully the travel agency can get back to me soon on the quotes so I can quickly book just in case I don't get the hotel that I want. Because it will only be a 4 hour flight, we will either be taking Jetstar or Cathay Pacific. I rather save on air ticket and spend more on accommodation and expenses there.

Our first trip abroad was to Jakarta to visit my cousin and her family. During that trip, I didn't had to worry a single bit about Alvis' meals. Every meal A had in Jakarta was homecooked by my cousin herself, nutritious and healthy. This time round, he will be having his meals for 5 days with us out at wherever we will be eating in HKG. Being a paranoid mom, I can't help but worry if he will be able to eat well in Hong Kong and the last thing I want to see is weight loss after the trip for Alvis baby. :P In our luggages, I will definitely be packing lots of his favorite biscuits/snacks and some easy-to-prepare cereal. Initially I thought of bringing a travel cooker and cook in the hotel but he is also already 2.5years old and can already eat table food, so I am trying to convince myself to just 'relax' for that 5 days. :S

Okay, maybe it's all a little too early. Still another 2 and a half months to go. Countdown is always the most dreadful thing to do if it's not "1 day left" on your calendar.

Do leave a comment if you know of any hotel in Hong Kong, preferably in Tsim Sha Tsui (Kowloon). We're considering Regal Kowloon Hotel and if you have been there and think it's worth recommending, do not hesitate to leave a comment. Thank you. :)

Happy mid-week everybody!
I can't wait for the weekend!

*coming up: Hubby's birthday is next week!! Can't wait. I bet Alvis baby will be happy to be able to blow out some candles.
