Hong Kong is looking like a go

As many of you know, Beth and I booked an eight day trip to Hong Kong from 9/17/10-9/15/10, staying four nights on either side of the harbor. I'm feeling better and it feels like we're going to go next Friday. I may bombard the forum with extra stupid questions, but our planning fell off the scopes when I took a downturn. Thanks in advance for your patience. More to follow.

Great news - glad you can go. Not really that exciting to watch minor league RS players in major league uni's finish out the season for them anyway...

Really looking forward to your report - it's been many years since I was in HKG.

Very glad to hear it. Are there poker games in the Macau casinos?

Ask away. There are no stupid questions. (The people who ask the questions ... now that's a different issue.)

Yea!

rizzuto - Don't know about Macau, but Texas Hold 'em is huge in underground clubs in HK. The police just cracked down on a few recently.

A lot of the places on Soi Nana have poke'er rooms, too.

Good news! Since I'll be there later in the year I'm certainly looking forward to your report.

great news mate,,have a cool time, First chance I have had to thank you for your guidance and recommendations with our recent family trip to Thailand. Funny enough after our first trip to ASIA (Thailand) we are now looking at going to Hong Kong and China early next year, so will be awaiting your report.

Keep on running my friend.

Rizzuto, you've reached a new low. May your next stay in Japan be in a love nest hotel.

Of course, the trip report will be timely. As always. Is EKS reading this?

Runningrugby, as I may have noted in the past, I was a wing forward for 12 years, playing for the Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, DC A sides. I was a more svelte panda back then with a mean streak.

Glad you enjoyed Thailand.

Gpanda, as you are well aware, if you're late with the trip report, a penalty will be attached. The penalty will be having His Bobness move in with you for a day for each day your report is late. He'll be there to motivate you and remind you to get the report to us!

Terrific. We expect on the site reporting. For example, should you show up at the wrong airport for your flight, dine on Italian food nightly and/or wander the streets aimlessly without a map. Have a great time.
