Hong Kong!
(Idea stolen from dgolds--thanks!)
Many of us are going to Hong Kong in next few months, and while a bunch of the itineraries are listed in the CO forum and a few in the Itineraries forum, I thought it would be a good idea to post them here, also, so there would be a central place for those who want to get together. There are already plans afoot for some of us to meet on Sunday, March 11th (see http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum95/HTML/000891.html ) for info.
Any HKG-resident FTers, please jump in!
March 8

Sheraton Hong Kong (Nathan Road, Kowloon)

CO 98 HKG 12:45 EWR 15:25 9K/9L

This is only my second post to the boards, but I've been reading for awhile. Any tips would be great. I'm doing EWR-HGK 3/11 to 3/16. I'm making a little trip out of it, along with my finacee. We're going coach, unless an upgrade comes my way, but I doubt it. (I'm a lowly silver). Given I'm (we're)on a serious budget we plan to be as frugal as possible. Any suggestions? We hope to also head over to Macau for a day or night.

MSP2000 -
Interested in getting together. Either the night of the 7th or 8th would work for me.
Not sure if your flight on the 5th gets there on time to make the 7th.

I'm going with the wifester and two daughters (4 yrs and 4 months) EWR-HKG on the 12th/ rtn the 19th. Has anyone done one of these marathon flights with children before? Am I getting in over my head or is it doable?
Staying at the Sheraton. Found a deal that was mentioned on the CO FF board http://www.pacificdelighttours.com/s...leidoscope.htm Air from IAH with 6 nights in Sheraton for $830 pp (including 4 yr old) $2600 total. Not a bad deal considering we're getting enough miles for three rt tickets to Europe out of it.
