We arrived at Hong Kong Airport after another great flight on Cathay (stewardesses are so polite and the food was great again). As we left the customs hall there was a man in a pinstripe suite holding a sign with our name, he took all our luggage and escorted us to our car.......... a dark green Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, and our Chinese driver dressed in a white jacket and black pin strip trousers….very smart. After we got into the car he handed us a drink and cold towels….this is the life! We drove into Hong Kong and arrived at the Peninsula….the most famous hotel in Hong Kong (its actually in Kowloon).We were met at the Hotel door by another gent who quickly checked us into our room……..another surprise we are on the 19th floor in a harbor view suite with a fabulous view of Hong Kong.
Yet another surprise, the hotel manager had sent us a card wishing us happy anniversary, along with a chocolate cake, and a half bottle of Peninsula Champagne. There was a small package on the tray wrapped in gold paper, it was a beautiful silver double sided Peninsula travel picture frame, what a memorable souvenir!
The cake
Me wondering what all this dried food is !

You two are being treated like royalty!Of course the Queen and King Mick also!!!!! I can not wait to read your reports and see photos, they are great. Is it cold there, I see you are wearing jeans and leather jacket and think I spot a new bag!!!
Hi you two - yes, I've been following along as you 2 are having the time of your lives - and deservedly so! While you're at the Peninsular see if Tommy Shen (House of Shen Jewelers)is still there. If so maybe you can ask for me where grandaughter Kathy Shen is now. You two sure are still great photogs! P.S. Don't forget your mom's handbag.
Love, Barb
Yes, but they taste nice and juicy!
