Saturday June 11
The longest day ever! We left Hong Kong at 13:00 and landed in Los Angeles a little after 10:00! We were home in Pasco by 8:30. Neither of us slept on the long leg; but I kept occupied watching movies and TV shows. What a huge difference traveling in business class made. Sooooo much better! We had a tight connection in SLC and left LAX late, but we made it fine.
Hong Kong Final Impressions
What an amazing city! Jim especially enjoyed it more than he thought. Lots of green everywhere, and very hilly. Extremely well organized and easy to get from point A to point B. Two full days of exporing was about right. I'm glad we didn't spend any more; besides it was just too hot.
Favorite thing: Probably The Peak. The tram was fun and the views were just amazing. But just riding around on that open top bus gawking was a lot of fun too. Oh I wish I'd had the camera on the night tour!
Least favorite thing: The heat and humidity. I knew going in that summer wasn't the best time to visit Hong Kong, and we were really lucky not to have any rain until the day we left. But the heat and humidity were just crushing.
What an amazing trip. I can't believe how lucky we were in the weather, and in the fact that neither of us got sick along the way! I just loved Bali; what a beautiful island and I hope we'll make it to Ubud someday. Wakatobi was well worth traveling all that way; they have things organized so well there; we were really looked after. It is truly a very special place. And Hong Kong was the icing on the cake. We had a blast there.
It was an incredible experience for both of us and we are blessed to have memories that will last the rest of our lives.
