Hong Kong+ Macau Trip - Day 1- 21Apr11

Very fast.... A month had passed after our 1st family trip to Hong Kong+Macau on 21 April 2011 - 24 April 2011. All thanks to my company for granting us this opportunity. All expenses of Daddy and Mummy was paid for by the company, except for Dan which paid by our own... In fact the company trip was only for 3-days which was from 21-23 April 2011, we extended the trip to another day just to bring Dan to the Disneyland...

Initially the company had planned to Taiwan- with the recent disaster strucked Japan in end March 2011, we had decided to cancel the trip without second thought (the county that highly prone to earthquake) hopefully next year, we can still use back the Taiwan itinerary which initially all planned.

We had 2 groups in total, departed at 2 different flight/timing but in the same day. Our MD wanted it to be this way, just in case anything goes wrong, we wont be all stucked together.. We were at the earlier flight-CX-10.25am , together with MD+Wife, Oliver+Wife, Jenny+Hubby, Yen+Hubby and us.

We were all in superb high mood, including Dan...He knew he will be taking aeroplane, he knew he will going to meet Mickey and Minnie....i had told him every now and then way before the trip.

We discussed to meet at the Airport at 8am. We had the group checked- in and Dan was so spontaneous to call Auntie and uncle.... even gave an high- 5 to our MD+wife from the 1st approached... and boss said...wow it's a good start... he wont normally be warm up so soon to greet...especially to the strangers.Obviously can tell, he was in the good mood....haha..

Finally arrived at Hong Kong International Airport

Our very "stylo" tour guide - Peter!! He was in his HAT all the time...
We met our Vietnam's colleague at Hong Kong Airport, after pick up the "mystery gift" from the tour agency to Dan Dan- Middle Size Mickey, we had finally arrived at our Long Waiting 5-Star Hotel at Mongkok- LANGHAM PLACE HOTEL

here's the interior of the room

See through glass from the bath tub to the bed

After the checked in, it was about dinner time....after settled ourselves to the hotel, we proceed to fill up our empty stomach...the weather is superb.....cooling like an air con+breeze cool wind...oh mine....i just don't feel like going back to sg anymore...simply love the weather there.... I was all time in long sleeve...and no more oily face and sticky armpit lor.....even Dan sat in the stroller quietly without any whining that always happen back in Sg with the hot weather.
We had our own dinner at Langham Shopping Mall, the food was ok...not said super fantastic but because of hungry, all food was sucked up too.....
right immediate the dinner, i was hysterically high to see the my most love ice cream van parked at the road side....very thick creamy vanilla ice cream...i had it during my 1st Hong Kong visit....Dan enjoyed it so much..... add on the cool weather with the ice cream...woo.....
here's my fellow colleagues started off with their shopping spree at lady's street.....me too managed to buy 1 'Milo' T-shirt for Dan..... We shopped up to about 12am and after having our "Kui Ling Gou" supper, we headed back to the hotel..... Here's presented our breathtaking view from our room.....we cam whore whole night in front of the full height window - taking with this marvellous city view We tucked in at about 1am.....got to wait up at 7am the next day, as we had a group meet up at the lobby at 8am and the group tour will officially kicked start the next day to MACAU... Peter had arranged the morning calls to all our rooms... that's one of the good thing to join the tour.... we are having "nanny" all time to take this and that little matters for us
