Train Ride

Did I ever tell you how we got to Hong Kong when we went there?...

...on a 16 hour train ride. And truth be told- Tim, was not what I would call 'forth right' in telling me how long it would be to get to Hong Kong prior to getting the tickets. I would have never agreed.

But truth should also be told- we had an absolute BLAST in our little cabin! When we counted our 'awake' time, we were really only on the train for 3 hours before bed, and 3 hours in the morning.


These pics were in the morning. We were eating junk food. We have a rule of thumb my brother Todd taught me: in your home, only stock your cupboards with healthy food. Save the 'eating of junk food' for when you're outside of the home.


The boys loved jumping from bunk to bunk. There wasn't a word of complaint the entire trip.


It was like camping for them (one thing we'll have to get around to trying).


We saved almost 1000 USD by having this fun bonding experience.

actually we ended up not spending an extra 1,000 dollars rather than saving 1,000. Either way it was totally worth the memory :> your Hubby

Can't imagine the long train ride with little kids. Have I told you lately how amazing I think you are?! It's a great way to travel... why don't we have trains like that here in America? We could learn a thing or two from the chinese!
