Currently on a three day delay in Hong Kong. Got out and wandered since the sun came out.

The SUN. . . What is this 'Sun' he speaks of?!
Looks like a decent walk!

Haha. I just did a 19 hour flight where we never saw the sun. I totally get it.
It was a good walk. I love Hong Kong, but as an introvert, I can only be out for so long before my social battery is depleted.

Nice! Was just there too. Hiked Victoria Peak's Lugard Rd trail and went to Tsim Sha Tsui...

Awesome! Looks like you had a good ride. I still need to make it over to Victoria Peak. Should probably do it before summer. My favorite thing is to take the train to Tsim Sha Tsui, then take the boat across the harbor.

Yip. I also learned that it is easier and way cheaper to get to the peak by riding the Green City bus or big double decker bus from Central, instead of taking the crazy busy and expensive peak tram. Also learned to avoid the Peak tower, a tourist trap where they charge a fee and there's always crowds, and instead hiking the Lugard Rd trail where you get even better views for free and with no crowds....

Thank you. I will look into those options.

That place is amazing. It’s like something out of Middle Earth that you can touch.

Landed in Liege Belgium yesterday, and two other MSC 777s were there. That means for once all but one were in the same place.

Over the weekend, I surprised the girlfriend (and mostly myself) with a voluntary trip down to Florida. I've despised the state personally, but once she saw MCO on the boarding pass I couldn't help but smile at her reaction -- she's jokingly talked about a Disneyworld trip since we've been traveling. It was like she had just won a car on The Price Is Right...at 4 in the morning.
Well, since the trip wasn't planned, Disney wasn't on any agenda, and I mentioned Cape Canaveral was only an hour drive away, she was all for it. Mostly to escape the cold up north.
But, the Kennedy Space Center Visitor's Complex is a sight to behold. It's nothing shy of breathtaking, and walking underneath those twin rocket boosters, and the fuel tank capable of emptying under nine minutes during shuttle launch sequence...
The whole thing got a smile out of me, and Catie was quick to point it out. "I love hearing you talk about this so passionately."
If you ever get the chance and haven't seen it yet, put a day in and bring your family. It truly is Disneyworld for adults, and it got me happy to see so many young humans running around learning all about NASA.
