How to manage/store luggage for an afternoon in Hong Kong?
I contacted the hosts that my girlfriend and I will be staying with in Hong Kong next week, and I discovered that our flight will be getting in several hours before they will be ready for us to check in.
Specifically, our flight gets in at 12, but they will not be ready until 17.
That leaves about 5 hours during which we'll have to cart around or otherwise manage or store our luggage before we will have a place to drop it off.
Are there places/activities we can go to where having luggage with us won't be unmanageable, or is there somewhere (preferably close to the airport) where we can rent storage space for a few hours?
We will each have a medium-sized suitcase (approx. 30cm x 75cm x 1m) and a carry on (backpack).

If you have an extremely long layover, you might want to ditch the airport and go explore the city, but dragging luggage along with you can make for a cumbersome exploration.
