Liz and Arthur go to Hong Kong, Italy, France, UK and Sarawak in 2006
Monday 1/05
I have actually almost completed the packing for both Arthur and me.... amazing..... and there is still room for more!
Wednesday 3/5
I am still learning how to use this!! Thanks for all your comments and good wishes for our trip. Only 2 more sleeps!
Having enjoyed extended leave since February, I have finally decided there is life after TAFE and have just written out my retirement/exit notice which will take effect on 15 June.
Judy... a trip to Europe every year is a definite possibility for me too.... but we would both like to make an extended stay in Italy - perhaps 3 months or more?
6/05
I am typing this in Hong Kong airport, waiting for our flight on the London and Rome. Just had a fantastic time here (only one day) - walked our legs off even though it was like a sauna.... spent quite a bit of time up on The Peak where it was margininally cooler (at 1200ft it should be)....didn't do much actual shopping but the window shoppping was pretty amazing. All in all it is a pretty amazing place.
We were pretty impressed with the transport options - to start with we had a quick trip in from the airport on the airport express followed by a free bus trip to our hotel.
Then, they have these nifty narrow double decker trams on Hong Kong Island which you can ride as far as they go for 2HK dollars (about 40cents) each, but you have to have the exact change. We realised this after we had go on, and were discussing what to do when a local offered us the money!! We were very impressed and most grateful
Must go as we have to board. Next stop London (for 2 hours) then Rome.
