FAMILY GETAWAY TO HONGKONG - MACAU FEB 2011

HONGKONG - MACAU FEB 2011

17 to 21 FEB 20

We celebrated Chinese New Year 2 weeks ago. The children were back from Australia from their semester break. Ying came back from Melbourne and Mei came back from Brisbane. I was on my off duty flying days-off.  HK and Macau were perfect for a family get together.

We flew to HK on SQ complimentary tickets and stayed for 4 nights in Metropark Hotel in Kowloon. It was a free and easy vacation and Ying will meet her university class mate in Macau.
