Live a Little (Hong Kong – Macau Trip)

I have been gone for 3 days. Our family just had a Hong Kong – Macau Trip. The trip was generally enjoyable, it was just pretty tiring from my waist down though hihi.

Fly high :-)

This was my third time to go to Hong Kong. Maybe I have not been there as often as others have, but I can say that I am already familiar with the place and if given a choice I would look for another destination. However, this trip is not about my personal fun. My goal was to let my relatives enjoy Hong Kong since it would be their first.


P'Noy greeted us with a headline upon arrival

Our flight was scheduled on Oct 12, 2010, that was last Tuesday. The plane departed Manila at 10:00am, and arrived Hong Kong at 12:05pm. We have also settled some necessaries before the scheduled trip. We chose Ramada Hong Kong Hotel. The manager advised us that we can avail a shuttle service from the airport counter at 140HKD per person. Good thing the guy in charge of the counter that time told us that we could lessen on cost by availing a car service for 700HKD which is perfectly fine for 7 persons. And things turned out well. For starters, we enjoyed the ride.

In the itinerary that I made, we just have to leave our things in the hotel and proceed to our fist stop, Hong Kong Disneyland. We reached the place at 1:30pm. Then we ate lunch, had rides, and watched the parade and the shows. After the fireworks at 8:00pm, we headed back to the hotel, had trouble walking and took the taxi, had dinner at a Chinese restaurant at the ground floor of the hotel and slept to charge our batteries to end day 1.

On our second day, my itinerary is Macau in the morning until noon and Ocean Park right after. At least we were able to have brunch at San Malo, visit St. Paul Ruins, Sto. Domingo (St. Dominic) church, and Venetian Hotel in Macau. We had to maximize time since my relatives would be leaving Hong Kong early in the morning of third day. The second day is one heck of a cram. Funny, we have to walk and shoot pictures quickly to maximize the day.

I would charge everything to experience, and save the memory of having a trip with my loved ones. Like what they normally say, better travel with your loved ones than have a brand new car. True :-)
