Whew! After a slight absence from blogging, I am back! I have some other things in the work for the blog coming in the next few weeks, but in the meantime I wanted to share our most recent trip to Hong Kong and Thailand. We went to the other side of the world for the last two weeks and this time we documented our trip not only through photos, but also through video!

It was a fun project and I am especially glad to be able to share this with family and friends.

Pre-trip introduction:

I couldn’t believe there was snow on the ground! Well, I could, but in VA it has pretty much been missing the entire winter. This was also the only “jacket” I packed!

And then 15-16 hours later, we arrived in Hong Kong! We stayed at the Regal Hotel in Kowloon:

And some snapshots of the details:

And when we woke up (thankfully with minimal jetlag (13 hours difference!)), what better way to start the time in Hong Kong than with dim sum and shopping?

Stay tuned for more!

Wow, I can’t believe we are already in February! I will be traveling for the next two weeks, so the best way will be to reach me through email or on the contact form on the website. I’m really excited about this small personal project that I am taking on and I hope to have some neat stuff to show in the next couple of weeks from it.

In the meantime, I thought I would share this super fun video of my in-laws’ dog. Missy is one of the most well-trained dogs I have ever met, and one of her fun quirks is that she celebrates Christmas! You can see what I mean here:

Cute, isn’t she?
