We Love Hong Kong


Here we are on our way for a swim.




Macy having her 1st driving lesson.


We have arrived and we Love it here. It is warm, clean and friendly. We had a great flight, Macy was a great travel partner, she napped a bit, chatted, ate a bit, watched a movie, and believe it or not before we knew it, it was time to get ready to land. Macy was wonderful, she pulled her little Tinkerbell backpack on wheels all through the airports. Kathy met us at the airport, we hopped on a bus (I had forgotten they drive on the opposite side of the road from home) and were soon here at Kathy's apt. The view of the mountain is wonderful, you cannot hear the traffic at all and the place is fancy fancy. Last night after we dropped off our luggage we went back downstairs to the grocery store and Kathy showed us a few things. We had a great sleep and I feel great today, no jet lag which is wonderful, but I did not sleep on the plane and Macy only had a few hours, and as it was night when we arrived here, we went to bed and slept all night. OK, I slept longer than Macy and Kathy took her to a few playground parks while I slept in till 9. But..... after I finally got up we got ready, we walked around and got the layout of the immediate area, checked out an indoor playground, and battery operated kiddie cars, we told them Macy was 3 so she could ride them, after she got the hang of it she loved them, we will have to take her back. Next, we went for a walk over to the mall. To get to the mall, you walk outside but the top is covered so you are not in the sun. We had lunch at the mall, did a bit of people watching and made our way back home. We then headed to the pool for an hour or so of swimming, (there are 4 pools here and we checked out 2 of them) then back here for quiet time before supper.
We expect to have a wonderful 3 weeks checking out the wonders of Hong Kong.
