Day two started with an early subway ride to Tung Chung. Again the subway dropped us in a Mall so Mrs. Wong was on a mission to feed us breakfast. What better way to start the day than Dim Sum! Ryan & I are in heaven!! I wish I knew the name of the place but its in the mall and is the wall of windows that face the mountain. After a fantastic meal we walk over to the arial tram to go to Ngong Ping and the Big Buddah. The tram ride is smooth and has great views o...

After more hours on planes than we want to think about, Michelle and her Mom met us at the airport where they successfully guided us through baggage claim and transportation to our Hotel. By the time we got there and slightly unpacked, I saw 00:15 on the clock. Kinda freaky. Monday morning, even with time zones and jet lag, Chris and I were up and walking around by 7:30am. We found the Ladies Market after being torn down. Apparently, every day they tear it down ...

As he talks in Mayan I’m struck as how similar it s...

When the sun comes up, my son gets up. Because of this, so do I. As I’m getting dressed, I keeping thinking I hear “It’s a Small World” and I think to myself, we’re not in Disney anymore – I must really need this vacation because I’m going crazy. Ryan and I go down to the dining room and in the daylight this place is beautiful! Don’t get me wrong, it was very pretty at night with all the candlelight and ambiance but...
