I should really title this, ‘Al & Steve: The Home Visit,’ as we’ve convinced them to move here and have even found them an apartment in a prime location in Central. (Villa Neal) WHAT A TRIP!!!! Still can’t believe it’s over and wishing every day that we could go back to day 1….

Azure

The Super Troopers got off the plane and were ready to go. First stop, Azure, for the view and to pick up Jane and crew. Second stop – AL’S. A night at Al’s ALWAYS includes the best (and biggest) jello shots on earth…..Dancing on tables…

And….??? (Any doubt Steve’s massive arm won?)

Day 2.. a chilled evening at the Globe in preparation for the festivities on Saturday….

Our junk! Nearly 40 people on a wooden boat…. LOVE IT!(Obviously so does Jake…that face says it all.) Lucked out with weather all week. Docked in beautiful South Bay…

Think the boys’ outfits were planned?

Group-at-Kila

Post sun. We recovered nicely the next day at the American Club pool followed by dinner in Stanley.

He looks happy now, sitting inside sipping on a margarita…

Nothing a walk in HK heat can’t change. But the view up at the Peak afterwards was well worth it!!

Wooloomooloo

Double dose of views. Next night from Wooloomooloo for the laser show.
Actually, make that a triple shot. Ocean Park’s views are unbeatable, too! This place is an amusement park/aquarium/zoo built into the ‘mountains’ (or hills?! Still don’t know what to call the landscape in HK) and overlooking the ocean. Pretty awesome. Heading from one side of the park to the other via cable car:

Waterride

Another hot one. We were in desperate need of a water ride for relief. Some local kid was drawn to the salmon-esque color of Steve’s shirt and hosed him down with his water gun. (hehe!!!!)

Our last night…. and my bday!
