There has been some discussion about where to go for the New Year. FIL is planning to take the whole family (his kids, their spouses and his grand-children) to HK or Shanghai. I believe this will be his gift to us this year. Unfortunately, Javi is still too fragile to join us.
I personally prefer HK. Not just for the shopping, but mainly for Disneyland. Kids will surely have a great time. I hear that there's a special event being cooked up by HK Disney for the New Year's Eve celebration. Since we are bringing Johann without the yaya, we are looking forward to lots of activities to keep him occupied. I hope we get to go around HK as well. I am looking forward to Ikea and H&M and the Mango and Esprit outlet stores.
As for Shanghai, I am not sure what we can do to amuse the kids. Shopping will surely take most of our time. I'm sure there'll be lots to do in the Paris of the East. One drawback is we'd have to allow time for Visa processing. Another is the rarity of English speakers.
Whichever they decide on, I am still excited to go. I've missed so many trips during this past pregnancy. Besides, this will be bring Johann lots of firsts: plane-ride, winter weather, among others. This will give also give us a chance to turn our attention back to him after Javi's birth.
For now, I am rushing Johann's passport application.
