.Hongkong trip 06-08-08 to 06-10-08.
this is going to be a long post. its our first time to travel complete. as in with mom and dad, my brother, 2 kids with ate marline. it was fun. backtrack the original date for this was last april and we had to re-sched this couple of times due to some reasons. we thought it wouldnt push thru. we had to change the dates as well as packages and finally we decided to take the get 4 pay 3 package and supercity package of cathay pacific. it was all worth it. i like packages since its less hassel for you to book hotels and as well as transpo services. cathay pacific packages are the best...i swear! packages includes 1 night in disney hollywood hotel + 1 night in novotel downtown hotel + disney park tickets for 2 days + fast pass tickets + transpo to and from airport as well as transfer from one hotel to another ++ the 10 kg excess baggage voucher...ansaya diba? we even thought fiona wouldnt make it since the immigration supervisor wont allow her to travel without the fucking dswd certificate which her mom forgot to give us. she was already in tears as the sup told her that she cant leave for hk without the certificate. my dad called her close friend who is also a supervisor in immigration and ask for help. on the other had ge(rox husband) was on his way to antipolo to get the fuckin' certificate. at that time the sup agreed to just fax the copy of the certificate to him. at that time it was almost 8. almost time to board the plane. dad asked mr gulay(funny last name noh?) if he can be the garantor and within minutes the plane will leave and ge is looking for fax machine in their place to send the fuckin' certificate. powerful mr gulay talked to sup and agreed to let the kid and my dad go and board the plane. my dad and fiona was literally running and got to the plane in a nick of time..whew! never seen my dad been that nervous all my life! thanks to mr gulay and to sup. we love yah! got to hk just in time. waited for the bus who'll pick us up. to my surprise since 4 adults were on a different package we need to board separate bus to the hotel. yikes!! 2 kids with me in the middle of busy hk airport. asus! my mom was worried sick na. ako den actually. i can do that alone but 2 kids on hand ibang istorya yon! but the vigor peeps were really nice and funny that we're like 10 people inside the huge bus. got to disney hollywood hotel and its jaw-dropping gorgeous..prawis! move over shangrila and intercon. there was no high ceiling and chandeliers but the place was so cute. mickey's all over + singing cuties who'll greet you in the lobby. kids were all over but i dont mind the place really brings out the kid in you. imagine mickey shaped croutons in your salad + disney shows all day long. galing! we're suppose to have 2 rooms for us but we were only able to get one room on time. other room which is adjacent to our room is still being cleaned up. girl in the front desk was sooo nice she handed me complmentary drinks in the lounge. nice! we didnt mind waiting coz at least we had the other room already. the hotel has free shuttle to the park every 3 minutes...panalo! hassel part about it was from the drop off area you need to walk like 2 kms to the gate. sakit sa ulo! kids going gaga already hahah! saw the fireworks display about 8 pm and it was just amazing. back in the hotel we were starving...managed to get some hamburger and when i say hamburger its...HAMBURGER by the pool side resto. it was heaven sobra!folowing day we transferred to hongkong downtown hotel which is novotel. place is good...very coporate-y. after that we decided to go to sogo mall in causeway and asus...lucky me they had almost 80% discount until father's day! hahah! got my pamangkin and my inaanaks some stuffs. when we got to the hotel my bro and yaya decided to explore wan chai district. lakad na naman po. we walked like 10 blocks away. i like mannings...its counterpart of watson's. we also went to this very posh mall near wan chai station of mtr. sale ang bossini. in fairness, i like the designs. not like the ones we have here. hk$59 for a cute guy's shirt. not bad diba? after that went back to the hotel tapos inutusan na naman kami sa mcdo para magtake-out ng dinner. i like their happy meals...hamburger or nuggets + side dish(corn, fries or yougart) + drinks(milk, white grape juice or orange juice) + toy...cute diba? next day my mom, dad + the kids went to victoria's peak to ride the cable car but bro, yaya and moi decided to go back to causeway area to shop took the tram...again. giordano was in fucking sale. i spent like almost hk$700 for 5 guy shirts, 4 gurlie shirts and 3 boxer shorts...all for pasalubongs. went so sasa...its like watsons and health and beauty of sm. perfumes are on sale.
