Stumble #1

As feared, our tight one-hour layover in Hong Kong on the way to Singapore turned out to be a problem. Our flight out of JFK was delayed by about 40 min (surprise, surprise) and we arrived in Hong Kong an hour later than expected. Cathay Pacific has put us up at the very nice Regal Airport Hotel and given us a voucher for a dinner and breakfast tomorrow morning. We are on a 8:55 AM flight to Singapore, so we won't miss out on too much of our day (we will arrive around noon).

The dinner was a massive and excellent buffet which we obviously took full advantage of after 17 hours in transit.

  1. Missing your connection actually produced some benefits....I am sure
    the extra rest will reap rewards today as you venture to Singapore and take in everything more refreshed. I had been mentally tracking your flight thinking you may have crossed over Canada with a more northern route to Hong Kong. (?)
    Thanks for staying in touch and congrats to all of you. Have terrific amounts of fun today in Singapore!!!! Love and smiles your way!

  2. That is great..... probably the best hotel you will stay at during your South East Asia trip:) Enjoy Singapore and your next stop in Ho Chi Minh City! I am so happy for the three of you! Lots of Love,
