Watch out Hong Kong

This past weekend I got to get away with some girlfriends and enjoy the shopping and nightlife of Hong Kong!! Danny and I have taken the kids there two times and we love going because Disney is right there and it is very easy to get around. I was excited to go and see some parts of the city that I don't get to see when we have the munchkins! Hong Kong is like an adult's playground, with fantastic shopping, amazing food, and over the top hotels!

Imagine 6 ladies sitting on a plane anticipating two days of shopping and eating! We cannot be expected to be quiet, but apparently the gentleman sitting in front of me thought it was nap time! My two friends and I were not rude (well, we did make fun of the China Mobile guy I had to talk to multiple times trying to add roaming to my phone because he continued to tell me not to repeat my phone number!!) and we were not loud (maybe a little when we were giggling!), but we must have really annoyed him because about halfway through the 3 1/2 hour flight he turned around and told us..."1. Welcome to China, 2. Be Quiet, 3. Thank you very much". Then he proceeded to push the service button and asked to be moved to first class. We all thought this was absolutely hilarious and we should have said, "1. Welcome to ECONOMY, 2. It is 11:00am, not nap time, 3. Thank you very much!" He was eventually moved after asking several times, but in that short time he provided great laughs for us throughout the weekend!

We behaved for the most part throughout the rest of the weekend! We may have irritated the bar staff at the W when we insisted on snacks and had an impromptu karaoke session, but they put on a happy face!! Three out of the six of us ended up with overweight bags and we had to pay extra!! We also almost missed our flight to go home on Sunday, but thankfully we were saved be a delay so we actually got to sit down and eat! When I finally arrived home on Sunday I couldn't wait to hug my babies and Danny and spoil them with a few gifts. I bought Danny a very nice pair of sunglasses only to be completely disappointed when he told me they were ladies! Oops!! I am so thankful that Hong Kong is so civilized because when I called the store and told them the problem, they were willing to refund me my money if I send the glasses back!!

It was a wonderful weekend with fantastic friends!! I sure am going to miss them all this summer!!
