Default Hi from Hong Kong!

Hey Guys,

Its getting a bit common this 'hi from' thread topic!

We arrived in HK around 1hr ago - had a nice shower and freshened up a bit.

Flight over was fantastic. The food was ace,good service etc so we would strongly recommend Cathay Pacific to anyone (the business seat is GREAT).

Our connection leaves at 11pm tonite (HK time) thats 3pm your time. We both cant wait to arrive and crack on with our new lives. It is very exciting now!

We spent a bit in Duty Free - Ciggies and a Digital Camera which is good (keeps me quiet for an hour or so!)

Got about 3hrs sleep on the flight - spent the rest of the time looking through the mountains of stuff on the entertainment screen thingy...

Will leave it at that for now - thanks for the comments guys - will keep you all informed at every step of the way.

BTW - For anyone who feels like giving up DONT. It is the most rewarding feeling once you get on the flight at Heathrow.

Speak to you all very soon

Take Care

Great to hear from you again and so pleased that you are including us all in your adventures. I sat for hours when we went to Oz last year watching the terrain monitor thingy!!!!!
Best of luck to you both

Well done. You will be up the coast from us as we are in Brisbane. We have spent the first couple of weeks driving round everywhere having a look around. Its tiring but good fun.

Enjoy. Dawn
