We travel the same country like it's always the first time; getting lost at the airport and finding our way out and to our hotel is always fun and at the same time exhausting, given the fact that we get up early to arrive at least a few hours ahead of our scheduled flight(we're a family of early birds when it comes to traveling by plane, we don't wanna miss our flight). Upon arriving Hong Kong International Airport, we waited a few more minutes for our friend, Anton, at the baggage claim. He lives in Singapore and we planned to just meet him at the airport.

As soon as the gang was complete, we started looking for our way out, loading up our octopus cards, exchanging our US dollars to Hong Kong dollars and riding the bus that would take us to our hotel so we can finally check in and freshen up.  |
Hong Kong International Airport. Photo taken amidst our search for the way out to our bus. It seems like my family and I cant get enough of Hong kong. We haven't missed a visit to Hong Kong for the past 5 years. This place is simply amazing, most specially at night; the night lights, shows, and the perfect view from the peak of Hong kong, The Peak Tram. |

Aside from sight-seeing, did I mention my family loves to shop? and Hong Kong is just one of the perfect places to go shopping for the latest gadgets and clothes! It's cheaper and I guarantee you wont have to worry about bumping into anyone that has the same stuff you do (well, with clothes).
Another thing I love about Hong Kong is its eye for fashion. There isn't one person you'll see wearing just a tee and jeans walking around the street, everyone has their signature style. Its like New York! Everyone walking busy to work, to school, to the mall, and what not.

I dont know why but I love the thought of being away from home. It just feels so independent. Specially because, we all have our own itineraries and our travels aren't obligatory. We don't have to comply with those early wake up calls, but we do wake up early for breakfast and go back to our hotel rooms to snuggle a bit more. And let me go back to breakfast, I love having breakfast at hotels. I enjoy going around buffet tables and checking out what's on for breakfast and watching the cook as he prepares my omelet with lotsa cheese is just the best feeling ever and to top it all: Bacon. Need I say more?

We usually leave the hotel just in time for lunch because it takes us forever to get ready, but it's a fun wait. Mostly for me, I get to change my clothes as soon as I realize Im not comfortable in them and I also get to charge my phone for longer use since we really come home late--past midnight late. We get lost wandering around the streets of Hong Kong since the train closes at 12 midnight.
