Touchdown

Prata: 2 Bawang kosong for me, 2 Kosong and 1 Telur for DD.
Tehpeng and Kopipeng.
(And 1 extra fishball mee for Little Being cos I couldn’t resist).

All a perfect breakfast make, esp when you’ve been away and deprived of good ol’ local food for 2.5 weeks. And your body clock wakes you up, hungry, at 5am…

We’re back.

Touched down on Wednesday morning at nearly 2am after a truly torturous and turbulent flight out of San Francisco and extra delays in HK which almost made me forget the great holiday that we just had. Almost but not quite, especially after we managed to collect all our bags. I guess it’s a sign of a good holiday that we came back with A LOT of luggage? We had to utilise the spare bag we brought and buy a new 31″ Samsonite to pack it all in and still came back with 4 pieces of check-in luggage, 2 backpacks, 1 large carry-on, 1 laptop bag and paper bags of duty-free items. We looked positively like hobos, totting around all that stuff. But hey, it was the US, and really the outlet stores were hard to beat. Or resist. (Not that we were trying very hard to anyway.)

So yes, we had a great holiday —

• Did a lot of shopping: Gilroy and Las Vegas
• Saw some amazing sights: Yosemite and Grand Canyon
• Stayed in some lovely places: Both quaint like The Centralla, and downright luxurious like Bellagio and Signature
• Watched some great shows: “O”, Wayne Brady, Blue Man Group, David Copperfield
• Ate some great food: Picasso
  (But mostly of the not so exquisite variety)

  And of course,

• Took lots of photos

More updates once I’ve sorted my life out. This weekend’s task? Clearing out the wardrobe to make space for the new stuff!
