We got back home from our trip to China on Thursday night. Once again, the trip was exhausting, with the kids only managing to get a few hours of sleep during the 24 hours of travel, and Hong and I getting even less. Even so, we were all in good spirits, especially the kids who simply loved being in the airport. I don’t know how old I was when I lost my fascination with escalators and moving sidewalks, but I do know my kids are still young enough to find the ride exhilarating. Oliver exclaims a sweet little “Whee!” any time he goes up or down an escalator, and airports seem to have plenty of them.

Once again we are all going through the process of getting our sleep schedules back in sync. Even since we got back, the kids have been averaging far less sleep than usual, yet they remain in great spirits. Hong and I, too, are getting less sleep than we normally do, with no sign of crankiness. Perhaps the adrenaline of the travel, combined with trying to catch up with a lot of things, is keeping us alive and awake.

I’ve posted some photos of the trip in the China 2008 photo album. They’re mostly family photos but there are a few pics of the sumptuous dining we enjoyed. I’ll speak more about that in a future post. In the meantime, I’ve got a lot of other things to catch up on.
