I don't travel much. At best, I take a plane once a year. And I almost always do that in June, or latest, September.
December is a cold month for many countries, so I stay home most of the time.
However, given that the last time I boarded a plane was 1.5 years ago, my eyes started to turn green at the sprouting of Florida, Manhattan pictures on Facebook, my ears started to itch with envy when my neighbour mentioned that they were travelling to London and Paris. My ears continued to itch big time when Baby's ballet classmate's mother said that she would be going Hong Kong.
I decided that I would also be going on a plane, in December!
The destination was quickly decided: Hong Kong.
Hong Kong had been on my mind ever since my first trip there 4 years ago. Besides the food that had been on my mind for the past 4 years, I felt that Baby was old enough to appreciate Disneyland a lot more than when she was four and a half.
Baby had whipped out a photo of herself and Coco with Pinocchio at Paris Disneyland during a Show and Tell at school.
The moment the children saw the picture, they shouted in unison,"Hong Kong Disneyland!"
It took Baby by surprise. She clarified,"Paris Disneyland!" and surprised the rest of the children back!
When she came home and told me about what happened in school, my first thought was 'My poor Baby!', so taking Baby to Hong Kong Disneyland had been at the back of my mind since then.
I booked the air tickets and hotels on a Sunday and we flew on the following Thursday morning at 1.55am!
