A jetsetter
Life as a two-year old can be testing … between a new school and his busy parents, Michael has then been dragged to two plane trips in the last ten days. Uncle Gary’s wedding in Hong Kong was wonderful - there were so many people to meet and it was always nice to see familiar faces like Gung gung, Poh poh and yes Winnie the Pooh (which was Gary’s and he brought it to his wedding!!!). Michael kept saying “Gong Xi Ni!” (which means congratulations in Mandarin) to Uncle Gary and his new Auntie Leona! The new couple were beautiful and we were just so surprised that they look so alike in the photos!
The 4 day weekend was packed with seeing many kids (9 kids in total) and of course we got to have a bit of social life also (much needed for Stacey!). Hong Kong was the same - pollution, crowed streets EVERYWHERE, fantastic shopping and our beloved friends and family. It was Ian’s first time back to HK since we left there a year ago and we just couldn’t believe how the year had slipped by so quickly!
Then a week later, it was onto a holiday that Ian and Stacey much much needed - two weeks by the beach in Phuket, Thailand. It was LONG to get here from Shanghai (total of 7 hours) and we were all exhausted when we got there, but the sound of the Andamen Sea was ever soothing and calming that we felt instantly more relaxed. We are a few days into our holiday and Michael just loves it! He finally got to enjoy a real beach (unlike the man-made one in our Shanghai apt complex!) and to him, it’s heaven on earth. In Phuket, Michael’s daily schedule is: wake up, eat breakfast, hang out on the beach, have lunch, nap, then afternoon adventure, followed by the routine dinner & night time rituals. Our little boy is very privileged and we are hoping that he grows up cherishing the fun time he had with us.
We will keep blogging more now that I have more time and all the sites are uncensored… Until next time, Enjoy our photos and much love from Phuket, Thailand.
