Oops!

I forgot to include one thing. I sat in three major airports in the past several days for several hours at a time, I checked out the appearance of the cabin crews from the various international airlines just to keep busy and to keep boredom at bay. I also read somewhere, recently, that PAL’s Cabin crews had been judged to be in the top ten amongst the cabin crews of all Asian based Airlines.

It’s all here and only the best; a ‘professional, power shopper’s heaven”..you gotta see it to believe it. This is only a tiny slice of what is available. You name the store and they have it here…I saw one item in a jewellery story – a bracelet, the asking price was a only 548,000 Hong Kong Dollars or only about $71,000 USD and another piece a sapphire ring with diamonds surrounding the sapphire, a mere bagatelle for a little over 1,440,000 HKD…it was simply gorgeous!

And for those of you who know She Who Must be Obeyed; the answer to your next question is: NO. There was absolutely NO POWER SHOPPING done.

Displays of excessive wealth are everywhere from the cars people drive, to the clothes and jewellery they wear…unbelievable!

We were: On the Road Again to Hong Kong, Kowloon and Macau. What an incredible four days we had. We visited historic settlements, churches and so much other stuff it’s going to take weeks just to recover for all the excitement. It looks like we are going to have 6 or 7 more Episodes in our On the Road series…the first of these is only a click away…

Yes, I’m back from my all too short wanderings around Hong Kong, Kowloon and Macao. Continue Reading

“I’m leaving on a jet plane,

I don’t know when I’ll be back again,

Oh, babe, I hate to go.”

That’s right, we’re off for a few days of R and R somewhere in Asia. But fear not, we’ll be back in a week with reports on some new and interesting places that we’ve explored.

I’m so excited to be “On the Road Again” and I’m really looking forward to exploring some new places that I’ve never seen before with “She Who Must be Obeyed”.

The open road is beckoning us to explore and that’s what we’re going to be doing this week. But we’ll be back to report on some new and exciting places that we’ve visited. Be on the look out for the first of our reports the first week in August.

In the meantime…
