Hong Kong is a special place for our family. Susie was born there while her parents were working in the city, which was still a British territory at the time. She’s been back many times over the years, and our 2025 visit was my third, but we'd been itching to bring the girls and show them where Susie was born and where her family made so many happy memories. Of course, a lot has changed since 1982, but Hong Kong remains a fascinating place. It's a unique blend of skyscrapers

14 October 2025 Steps: 18,625 Today was a special day as we took the girls to the Hong Kong Disneyland for the first time.

It was actually kind of fun being in the pool and hot tub as the rain drops bounced down. Lunch at the Dim Sum Library In the afternoon we met up for with one of Susie’s school friends who now lives in Hong Kong for lunch at th

11 October 2025 Steps: 18,193 After 11 nights in Japan, we arrived in Hong Kong. The days have flown by, but we're ready to experience a new country now, and have been looking forward to showing the girls Hong Kong for a long time as Susie was born here. Our hotel was close to Hong Kong Park so we started our day there.
