So we are back from our holiday, or rather what I’ll like to call it our amazing race across 3 countries… (Coz it feels like it) Greg and I finally decided to just do it (taking the whole family for our first overseas trip) Like I mentioned in my previous blog, we will be taking Aiden to Disneyland. So we took a flight to Macau and met up with Ah Yee KK and Uncle Jim (as promised also *wink*)Then a boat to Hong Kong Disneyland and our impromptu visit to China, Zuhai. It’s not the first time we are travelling, but just the thought of taking the two kids on flight,boat,train and to Disneyland is scary. I actually thought of not taking Caitlyn along two days before the trip. All sorts of what ifs and questions pop into my head. The biggest question was will it be too stressful for the her since she is only about 8 months old. But I thought it’ll be really unfair to take one and not the other. Plus Caitlyn is pretty attached to me and being away from her for 5 whole days will be even more stressful for her and prob for me too…I’ll miss her:( What appeased me was that we will be staying in Ah Yee’s house. So it can’t be that bad and I’ll have Ah Yee (God Bless her) if anything at all…If we had to stay in a hotel for the whole of our journey,I would have turned back!
So, any mommies out there thinking of whether to bring little bubs on trips like this.. Well..my advice is you can but don’t expect or plan to have too many activities..you’ll be moving really slow (stopping for toilets/feeds/tired lil’ feet/grumbling stomach…etc) And if you are going with the kids.. it’s basically a holiday for them not you. Meaning, you’ll be doing all the kiddie stuff so don’t look forward to go shopping for a long time(they will be whinny due to boredom) no checking out the local bars/pub/clubs (no one to babysit) no travelling light (you’ll have to bring half the house)… But it’s not like you won’t have fun, but you’ll be doing the things that the kiddies will enjoy. And that’s what really matters anyway. Seeing the smiles on their faces makes it all worth it! And just having that time alone with the family having fun is also worth it. I’ll do it again, this time round I’m wiser and clued in.. so it’ll be easier and I can be more relax to enjoy. Well….mommies are still learning and experimenting all the time right?
