Thank you! And...more questions

Thank you for your help thus far. I admit I do not understand all of the acronmyns, such as TPAC, or the what the J or Y stand for so if possible please help a novice out with the full words.

The kids are both under 2 and will likely be slinged onto us as we explore the city. Our primary purpose for the trip is rest, relaxation, and to see as much of what appears to be an amazing east meets west city as possible.

Understanding that shopping is a part of the culture we will likely visit the markets but we aren't shoppers. We do however appreciate good food, history, and museums.

More questions: Is the general consensus that places like Caprice and Felix are worth the cost? In Paris we've been to restaurants with Michelin stars which have been worth the cost, but not many.

If we don't gamble is it worth visiting Macau?

Favorite Spa: Amongst those who have been to the Peninsula, MO, FSH-which has the best spa? Any others you would highly recommend?

Travel from Atlanta: I do appreciate the idea of traveling to Canada and having a more relaxing immigration on the way back. Would you think that this is preferred to taking Singapore or Cathay airlines from SFO?

Regarding class of travel: I'm currently looking at both economy and business as possibilities. From what I've read Cathay has had some bad reviews on their new economy class so I'm weary of trying them. Or do you feel that Cathay economy is better than Singapore? Is Cathay business better than Singapore?

Time of year: Thank you for the advice to keep an eye on conventions and holidays. We will be going December of next year.

Keep the advice coming, from your responses I can tell this is going to be a wonderful adventure!
