15th Anniversary in Hong Kong

Given that we cannot be very far from Manila and can only be away for at most a week,  we thought that Hong Kong is the best place to spend our 15th year Anniversary.  The weather would be perfect, I have a forced leave from work and  December is the best time to travel because of the Christmas bonus:-)

Because we decided too late, the only available outbound flight to Hong Kong on that particular date was at 5:45PM.  It seemed fine, but we didn't expect the flight to be delayed by almost an hour.  We got to spend a bit of time at the Miascor VIP lounge, free to Amex Platinum cardholders as well as Citibank Platinum cardholders, which fortunately had free snacks and wi-fi as well.

By the time we got to collect our luggages at the Hong Kong International Airport, it was already past 9:00PM.  Good thing the airport is such a nice place to be in and even the Airport Express has a way of relieving  stress.

It was a nice and comfortable ride to the Kowloon Station.

By the time we got to have our dinner, it was around 11:00PM.  We decided to have dinner at the Cafe at the Park, our hotel's coffee shop.

After dinner, we didn't want our first day to go to waste , so we had a late night stroll along Canton Road.

We think that Canton Road is the best place to stay in Hong Kong.  Everything is right at your doorstep!
