HK Trip - Post Mortem

Post mortem of the trip by Mummy me.

Choice of Hotel - it was rite to choose a 5-star hotel, instead of saving on hotel costs by staying in cheap hotels. The service was great, room was clean, and best of all, daily breakfast, afternoon tea, etc were included. Daddy could enjoy the champagne & wine for all that he wants, for free...

Shopping - Can't believe it... Mummy din really shop at all!!! For all nites, we jus stayed in the room - we din even go to Ladies' Market, etc for shopping. The Times Square, Elements, etc. which Mummy had planned beforehand were all - I dun feel like going, in the end. Instead, Mummy shopped for the kids' clothes & toys. Daddy was so afraid of Mummy going to the Miu Miu store @ One Peking, jus opposite the hotel, on the last day. I asked him, "You worried that I'll buy a HK$1000 item on my last day?" His reply squirming, "No, I'm scared you'll buy a S$1000 item for the shopping that u missed!!!"

Places to go - Disneyland is a must-go, especially if u have kids. Well, Ocean Park - can skip lor... We spent only about a quarter in Ocean Park compared to Disneyland - entrance fees, food, photos & merchandise. We decided not to go to The Peak cos it wouldn't mean anything to the kids.

Transport - we had initially planned to book a tour for the Disneyland and Ocean Park, i.e. get someone to pick us from hotel to park and vice versa. After doing my homework, decided against it. It's very convenient to get to those places - we saved more than a $100 jus by going on our own. MTR is also very convenient when going from shopping centres to another. Even the cab ride from the airport to the hotel costs us less than HK$300.

If given a chance, I'll bring the kids to Disneyland again. This time, with Caden, of course.
