I am not a huge fan of Macao, but you might as well check it out since you have the time and the points.
I would probably put it as my last day, since I would travel from Macao right to HKG airport directly, instead of landing in HKG.
Similar scenario for me 7 nights for trip, likely using IHG points, but thinking of a night at the Conrad using Diamond status. Logically I see where it's smarter to stay the last 1-2 nights in Macao and depart from there to HKG airport. Being the worrying type, is the Cotai Water Jet 7:15 am departure reliable? This would be on a Thursday, DL flight departing at 11:40am. Don't want to do Macau upon arrival--all those hours of flying with arrival at 8:30pm would not make for a happy start to the vacation if I told MrSteph58 we were going to continue on via 1 hour ferry ride in the dark!
