Goodbye's to Hong Kong. All good things come to an end....

Last morning with the family and then off to HK airport for a mid day flight. 24 hours door to door return home with a nice surprise of being picked up by my beautiful wife in Boston!

It has been a wonderful 3 weeks and whilst sad it is over at least I have the excitement of being with my girls in Newport. I am just hoping Clara remembers her Yé Yé! Thanks to all for for such a good time.





PS New kitchen still in full construction mode - but still think we can finish it by the end of May, fingers crossed!

Arrived Hong Kong...and last dinner

An uneventful flight back to Hong Kong - and an early evening dinner for Al, Ros and me while Shevaun stayed in with a well travelled and tired Clara.

We went to Yee Tung Heen at the Excelsior which serves up delicious Cantonese dishes, especially the Peking Duck. There is also a bar at ToTT’s and Roof Terrace which has great views of Victoria Harbour and the stunning city skyline...but we were too tired to go there and returned home!

An exhausted Ros flying back from Borneo!

Time to leave Malaysia


Sad to go has a been a great time to chill out with Alastair, Shevaun, Clara and Rosalind. We just had time for another swim before leaving for the airport to return to Hong Kong.

I put together the following short video clip of our time in Saba with Clara.

Last dinner - a Teriyaki special!

After been told there was no room at the Teriyaki restaurant we thought we would go by and double check......lucky Leachy.....there was a cancellation. First rate dinner. I had to arrange poppadoms for the girls as they really had their mind on an Indian restaurant next door! As a joke I also told one of the waitresses that it was Shevauns's birthday....imagine the surprise at the end of the meal when a birthday cake arrived accompanied by all the staff. The only problem was they walked right passed us to another table...busted!

Last sunset....





Lucky for us a fantastic sunset

Chill out Saturday at the pool



Last full day at the Hotel so spent it chilling with Clara. Alastair and Ros also got another sail in, and I ran the beach.



Clara dunk!

Catamaran Sailing




An easy day by the pool in very hot and humid weather. In the afternoon the wind came up and we took a Hobbie Cat out. Great fun and Alastair forced a man overboard procedure by diving off the boat into the jelly fish infested seas!

Another nice dinner in, on our balcony, after feeding Clara by the pool
