We made it to Hong Kong safe and sound. Twenty five hours of travel and four totally trashed kids, but we made it.
We left Seattle Thursday at 12:30 in the afternoon on a direct flight to Tokyo. We arrived there at 3:30 in the afternoon on Friday, for us, nine hours later. The sun never set, we were in daylight the entire way so the kids had a very difficult time sleeping. Consequently the next three-plus hours in Norita were spent with melting kids. The flight from Tokyo to Hong Kong was only noteworthy in that everyone was asleep before takeoff.
So it is two am Hong Kong time, and the kids are sleeping. Perhaps we can torque their body clocks around by stringing them out with sleep-deprived travel. The jury is still out on that.
We should start posting video clips from the trip shortly. Drew was editing some of the footage on the airplane (until his battery died.)
And so the adventure begins.
OK, here is the last one before we heard out for Hong Kong. This one will not set the high water mark for video quality… looks more like a late night inquisition under a bare lightbulb. But it is the last minute activity anyone goes through before you leave on a journey. You pack. Only for us we are packing for six.
The more time I spend with Vox the more frustrated I am getting with the video playback. If the videos play really choppy (intermittent audio and uneven playback) all I can recommend is to click on the play triangle to start a clip, pause it, count 5 Mississippis, and then click on the play triangle again. For some reason it wants to play the file before it has buffered enough content to play smoothly. I am also trying smaller files to see if that helps. Sorry for the less than optimal media experience. I will figure it out.
OK… Here we go. Wish us luck.
