Day 12 - Leaving Hong Kong

Having breakfast at HK airport

I started the day pretty cocky. I didn't pack an extra outfit for me, nor did I prep bottles after going through security. Stupid. Crazy push through the airport as I needed an extra step of checking Jude in through the United counter. At least we got to use the family lanes and board faster. Hong Kong should be awarded for their effective passport control and security. Fantastic!

Jude threw a fit before we took off. We pulled away from the gate but didn't go to the runway. Jude didn't want to be held, I couldn't let her down, and the flight attendant couldn't get me water fir her bottle. Oh the screaming. Over the course of the 14 hour flight she threw up on us both, blew out a diaper and generally did not sleep. The flight was as bad as I ever could have imagined and that is the last I'll speak of it. Eventually it was over.
