Cameron Lo

Since our return flight from Koh Samui to Hong Kong was delayed by three hours, we actually spent New Year’s Eve through the countdown on the plane (although no one counted down)! By the time we checked into our hotel in Hong Kong, it was almost 2am. Cameron finally couldn’t stand it and fell asleep in the taxi from the airport to the hotel. When all the hustling and bustling of settling into our hotel room woke him up, he had a major meltdown—I was so afraid we’d get a call from the front desk because of complaints from our neighbors! Amidst these chaos, no one remembered to hang the “Do Not Disturb” sign on our doorknob, so bright and early the next morning, the hotel staff rang our doorbell twice to ask if we had laundry! Cameron woke up crying—I wanted to cry too since I didn’t even get to bed until well past 3am and I got woken up by people on our floor walking and talking loudly around 7am. But kids are amazing—for our New Year’s Day lunch with all my cousins—they’re still fresh-faced and full of energy! Happy New Year!
