Homeward bound

So we've started the long journey home, and again, we're going in opposite directions.
James and I fly to Frankfurt today (we're in a Star Alliance lounge at HK airport right now), and then Fft to NYC and on to Charlotte tomorrow. Maisie and Helen have a full day in Kowloon today, but then attempt the longest day ever tomorrow as they fly HK to Tokyo to LAX to CLT. I don't think Maisie can understand how the time works and she is very confused that their flight from LA leaves at 1.30PM on 18th. which is 4 hours before their 5.30PM flight leaves Tokyo for LA also on the 18th.

I've never felt so sad at the end of a trip before. I really could go on like this for ages, but my real world beckons. It's been a magical time for us as a family and we will have to repeat the idea, maybe on another continent in a few years time.
