The Millers Take on Hong Kong

Ten months ago my Dad said
"Sweetie, I've decided I don't want
to come to visit you in Hong Kong alone.
I am going to bring your bothers and sisters with me."
My reaction - TEARS of JOY and
"That would be AWESOME!"

So after 10 months of planning ...
OOPS Dad! - Sorry we can't see your face.
they arrived in Hong Kong on
Tuesday, March 20 at 10:15 PM!!!

It was fun for me to take pictures
of THEM taking pictures.


I enjoyed being able to step back and watch them
ENJOY.

Nam Lian Gardens and the Chi Lin Nunnery

-We ate lunch at Ajisen, a Japanese noodle
restaurant located in Plaza Hollywood.
- After lunch we took taxis to
Kam Shan Country Park to
visit the MONKEYS.


As we exited our taxis this monkey
was there to welcome us.


Just after I took this picture,
the monkey on the fence bared his fangs
and charged at Nathan.
We all ran for cover!


DANGER - of the crossing of the bridge -
with monkey Moms with their babies sitting on it!!


We made the crossing successfully -
with NO monkey attacks.

-From Monkey Mountain we went to
the Jade Market, Flower Market,
Goldfish Market and finished up our day 
in Sham Shui Po - my favorite market.

-We began our day by taking the DB Ferry
to Central.

and wanted to get a picture taken with him.

-We visited Fred at work.

BBQ place.
-Visited Stanley Market and found
GREAT shopping there.

Our Family Travel T-shirts
I didn't plan it this way but the red really helped
in identifying everyone in the VERY crowded airport.

We flew on the new A380 airplane.
