Hong Kong was even more perfect because of a fluke in our hotel accommodations. Don had arranged to have
us stay at the YMCA on the harbour front in Kowloon. When we opened the curtains on the 11th
floor we had a million dollar view of the Hong Kong skyline across the water. It took our breath away. The New Year's,
fireworks were right out our window, almost at eye level. It was something that we will never forget.
We crowded into one hotel room and had a real party. Fireworks displays in other places will never be the same.
Forever second rate. It was pure magic for 23 minutes.

Everyone loved our stay in Hong Kong, even with the crowds.
