The Big Trip: Alyce’s perspective

Our Bags all packed

Our Bags all packed

I’ll never forget the first time Justin introduced this idea to me. We just arrived in Anguilla in May 2011, and we were sitting by the beach having a drink. I suppose he thought that I would be more easy going, but he was wrong!!

This is how it went:
Justin: “I think that we should take a big trip after you graduate”
Me: “Where and for how long”
Justin: “Australia and New Zealand for 4 weeks”
Me: “No.” “Way too long.”

It’s been over a year and a half since we had that conversation and somehow the 4 week trip got extended to a 10 week trip and Justin convinced me to say yes. I’m not really sure how he did it either. He kept showing me pictures of these amazing, once in a lifetime experiences and beautiful hotels. It would have been crazy to miss out on this opportunity. So, here we are!

We arrived in Hong Kong around 8 pm Friday night.  The flight was incredible, but we’ll go into more detail about that when we have more time.  Today will be our first day exploring the city.  We’re on our way to breakfast!  We’ll catch up soon!

  1. You mean to tell me that the 2 of you can fit all your “STUFF” for 10 weeks of travel & carry them on your backs!! OMG, I’m in serious need of your organizational skills!! The view from the hotel is great. How’s the food?

    • Yep, somehow we were able to fit everything!!! I don’t think there will be much room for souvenirs, so we are taking lots of pictures! So far, the food has been great, and we are looking forward to trying more of the local cuisine (good thing we are adventurous eaters!).
