Relaxing in Hong Kong - off to Athens, Greece

Well today is our last day in Hong Kong, so we watched Mama Mia this morning,  ate a late breakfast and talked about what we wanted to do today. Jacob mentioned that he wanted to go golfing and the girls saw a sign 50% of spa treatments...I think you all know how this ended up!

Jacob and I walked across the street to a nine-hole executive course called Nine-Eagles (http://www.nine-eagles.com/eng/). Jacob and I played nine holes...it was hot but we had a blast.

Here are some great pics of Jacob swinging away with 747s, A380s and many other aircraft landing in the background of every shot...You will also see the Marriott in a few shots...our room overlooks the course.



Made the putt, with an A330 in the background.


Jacob hitting driver...however those bunkers are big!


Jacob with a power swing...



A380 landing while we approach the 7th Green...


Hitting Driver on # 9...watch out for the waaaater!



Teeing up another...look familiar to anybody who has golfed with Dad! Second one is always better...




Now this big question for the day will be how much did the girls spend at the spa only "VISA" will know? When girls got back they only got manies and pedies.

It was pink and blue for Kristen, and all blue for Abey...



After a cold water and soda in the lounge, I think it's off to the pool for one last swim in China!

In the conceirge lounge at the Marriott awaiting our flight and happy hour!


After a week of bread and noodles Jacob was ready for PIZZA. Here is Jacob eating pizza in the Hong Kong airport. He should have stocks!



Getting ready to land in Frankfurt, Germany!


747-800, very nice new airplane!



Just a quick lay over in the Frankfurt airport and we are back in the airplane to head to Athens, Greece. We should be there around 1pm Athens time.
