We will be celebrating Christmas in Hong Kong and New Years in Tokyo. This is the first time Colin will be riding an airplane. Flying Japan Airlines - which means great service, endless entertainment options, and abundant amount of food and drink. We were able to get the bulkhead seats going there so the seats were very roomy. There was alot of turbulence throughout the flight. Right when Colin felt asleep in the bassinet (which he barely fit in), we had to carry him due to excessive turbulence. After that, he did not want to be in the bassinet anymore. Back to the food and drink details....right after the plane took off, there was a snack service, then dinner. Then they put out a basket full of snacks for those who decided not to sleep yet. Then right when we wanted Jocelyn to sleep, they came around with ice-cream sandwiches (KING SIZE!!!). And right before we landed, there was breakfast. Of course, Jocelyn made sure she did not miss out on any one of these services. Unfortunately, it caught up to her soon after. We were supposed to have a 2 hour layover in Tokyo but because of a delay in leaving SFO and heavy traffic landing into Narita, we ended up having only around 30 minutes to get to our connecting flight. To make things worse, we had to go through a security checkpoint even though we were just connecting...So not sure if it was the 10+ hour of flying, turbulence, all the food consumed, or the dashing to the next gate..Jocelyn became very nauseous even as we were dashing to our gate. Being a tough girl, she managed to keep up with us despite not feeling so well. We made it on our flight but once she sat down, she vomited everything out. This is the first time I've seen a barf bag being put to use. After that, our flight and taxi ride to our hotel was very uneventful and we made it to our room around 12:30a.m. Hong Kong time.

2 goals for today - (1) a surprise visit to the American Girl store (which was only 5 minutes away from where we were staying) for Jocelyn. Her doll got her hair done. (2) Spend time hanging out with cousins. Missions accomplished!

Kids had fun waiting to board the ferry to Victoria. But then once we boarded, Colin didn't want to get out of the car and onto the deck. Meanwhile, Jocelyn had fun exploring every corner of the boat. Victoria/Butchart Gardens was great. We were surprised the kids enjoyed it so much even though there was lots of walking. We were also thankful that the weather cooperated until the end.
