Greetings B:rolleyes:x:

Hope the dubious denizens of this den of decadence are dallying on a dandy day. Verbose? My a....:D

In other news, at least Larry K is not Doug Steenland.:(

I would do it if I had someone else to go with me but it would be a waste of a good ticket if it was just me and the other ticket went to waste.

You can tag along with us on Wednesday. We have 2 extra tickets now. Starts at 7:30 but we will show up at 6:30.

On the phone yet again with CO.

I'm being charged a Korea Passenger Service Charge. I'm not flying to/from/via Korea and neither the Canuck or I are Korean (it's a Korean Passenger Charge, right?).

Very minor annoyance, and rather amusing, but still frustrating.

I'd rather pay it than have them rebook everything, but the :rolleyes: remains high.

WWTBD ...

We're going to HKG. Plan is to be there one day, spend two days in Macau, and then more time in HKG. Do we spend 3 additional days in HKG or (due to non-daily frequency of the EWR-HKG flights) spend 6 additional days?

Well - just PMed sbm12 -- maybe he still wants to go!;)

EDIT: Tix taken!

I am sure it is in the plan, but don't forget to take the MTR down to Lantau and then ride the cable cars to the island for a meet and greet with "Big Buddha"! It was an awesome experience. One felt really close to Asian Culture especially with the Starbucks in the Village at the base.:p

There is a ton to do in HKG - we spent 6 nights and could have spent more.

Plus, you can always do one of the tours up to the mainland or a quick jump on an LCC such as AirAsia.

LOL! The cable cars were down, so we took the long way over (via ferry and bus) and bus/MTR on the way home. And that village has a place that gives amazing foot massages!

Also, do lunch at the monastery - all veggie but darn good!

That's what I was thinking ... the mainland requires a visa, which *4 equals a lot of money for a one or two day side trip.

How many people can I stuff into a room at the Conrad? It seems only two... Am I correct? The JW Marriott will allow four in a room and I can burn off some of my HH points that way ... The only down side is that I'm top tier with HH and a nobody with Marriott :(

Thanks for the invite but I have meeting I need to attend on Wednesday night. I need to network with someone on a job lead I got on Wednesday.
