HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2012

After returning from the US (about 14.5 hours on a plane and 20 hours of travel total) on the night of the 30th in HK, we spent the day of New Years Eve unpacking our 6 large bags and boxes we returned with,

waiting for Aspen to be delivered home from her vacation at Kennel Van Dego, and fighting jet lag.

We had a wonderful reunion with Aspen and she is not at all unhappy, punishing us, or seems any worse for her own vacation. We are so lucky to have such an easy, adaptable, loving dog. By 9:30pm Alex was already asleep and Joe and I gave up the fight and went to bed as well. When I woke up this morning after a rest that only had me awake once in the night (since it was noon in the states my body was wanting to be active) I felt disappointed that we had not enjoyed a big, festive New Year, our first in HK. Then it occured to me that Joe and I were actually TOGETHER, even if sound asleep and practically comatose! The last two years we have been apart and I am quite happy to realize that is no longer the case.
So now it is January 1st in HK and thanks to the wonders and access of technology I can have the HK experience and share it with you! I hope 2012 is magical, happy, healthy and your best year yet!
