We are seated in the United Airlines Lounge in Hong Kong airport awaiting our flight to Toronto. We are still hoping for an upgrade to business class but will not know that for a while.
We got up this morning, went to shul next door and then met Nachum and Sandy in our room for breakfast. They were headed to the ladies market and the flower market this morning.
We spent the morning walking around the area near the hotel and while we did not intend to shop, some of the deals were so good that we shopped some more. At noon, we headed to the Mul Hayam restaurant and had a great lunch of spring rolls and honey mustard salmon steak. Both were delicious.
We returned to the hotel to pack up and check out.
Our bellhop was Kim, the same fellow who checked us in and again he amazed us by remembering our names and our room number. This is truly an amazing staff. Kim is also the fellow who helped us on Shabbat with doors etc and he impressed us with his knowledge of Hebrew, albeit Mandarin accented Hebrew.
When we checked out we took a cab to the train station, checked our luggage thru to the airport and boarded the Airport Express Train to the airport, where all that remained was to go thru security and head for the lounge. We had our choice of the Thai Lounge or the United Lounge but since we had been in the Thai Lounge a few weeks ago on the way to Chiang Mai, we decided to try the United Lounge. Both were very bekovodik....so here we wait till our flight....
Hope to see all of you soon. We will certainly send our pictures once they are ready so that you can see some of what we saw on this wonderful journey. Hope you enjoyed travelling with us...it was a pleasure to have you along for the ride.
Hope all are well....all the best
Fran and David
