Our trip to Hong Kong was originally scheduled for early May 2009. Unfortunately, due to the H1N! outbreak, we decided to postpone it as we wanted to be socially responsible. The 5-year old was a little disappointed but accepted the decision very maturely.
Finally, the day for departure drew closer. The 5-year old was so excited that she couldn't go to bed the night before. We set off for the airport at 5am that morning for the 6.30am flight via Jetstar, the budget airline. It was a 3.5hours flight and I was a little bored since there was no inflight entertainment. Can't complain much if we are paying budget price. Seated in front of me, was a Swiss man, very tall... he had his seat declined throughout the entire journey and I felt like a squashed pumpkin. Fortunately, he was pretty good looking so my frustration eased a bit.
When I tried to get up from my seat, I had to do a little hop and felt my knee caps cracking.
Note: Do not fly budget if you have aches & pains or if you are a senior citizen...
Finally, we arrived in Hong Kong... The plane was parked outside the airport so we had to walk down a flight of stairs and then hopped onto a bus for transfer to the main immigration arrival hall. Weather was fine & cool. Thank god. Wasting no time, we got into a taxi and off we went to Disney Hollywood Hotel (located 5mins away from Disneyland via shuttle bus).
The taxi fare turned out to be cheaper than a MTR ride. We were surprised! And we didn't have to lug our luggages around the train station. The taxi took us right to Hotel doorstep and we enjoyed comfort.
Ah... we felt good (to be continued...)
