Thank you both very much.
Our only concern was if there were something we didn't know about requirements to formally enter Hong Kong. Transiting HND and SGN and eventually arriving at CGK on this itinerary kept us busy filling out online forms and downloading apps. We appreciate your reassurances and look forward to getting some rest at Regal.
