Kingston&#8217;s wide awake at all kinds of odd hours in the middle of the night which has caused us some sleep problems, but otherwise we&#8217;re all well and in good spirits. Nobody got sick, I didn&#8217;t throw up from over-eating, and we still retain all our original organs.<\/p>\n<p>How was my trip?\u00a0 Thanks for asking&#8230;I&#8217;m glad you care.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2100\" title=\"hk2010-1\" src=\"http:\/\/raphaellowe.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/hk2010-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raphaellowe.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/hk2010-1.jpg 333w, https:\/\/raphaellowe.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/hk2010-1-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d say overall it was good but looking back at the whole event I&#8217;d say the main thing I&#8217;d remember about it all was that we were traveling with a toddler. Everything was focused on Kingston&#8230;we planned meals around his naps, I spent a good number of hours sitting in the hotel room watching him sleep, we watched him play with family members, and flying with a baby is a new experience not unlike what I&#8217;d imagine Hell itself to be like.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t regret going, I still feel mentally rejuvenated nonetheless. But that&#8217;s how I&#8217;d describe this trip to anyone that asks. The fact we were in Hong Kong so far away from home was really just an added consequence.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/raphaellowe.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/hk2010-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2101\" title=\"hk2010-2\" src=\"http:\/\/raphaellowe.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/hk2010-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raphaellowe.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/hk2010-2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/raphaellowe.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/hk2010-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/raphaellowe.com\/portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/hk2010-2-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We DID eat some fantastic food.
