Mel and Jackie Escape to Hong Kong

We have been in Macau for ten months now and the two of us have not been away from Emily and Danielle for more than a few hours at a time. Let's say that an overnight trip away from "the kids" was overdue. On Saturday morning Jackie and I dropped off the girls with friends of ours and we caught the 9:30 ferry to Hong Kong for a weekend of "freedom".
After checking in at our hotel, we headed out shopping!! Jackie bought some clothes at H&M while I purchased a Nintendo Wii. In the evening we had a quiet dinner at a French restaurant in Times Square and then we did some window shopping on our way back to the hotel.
Sunday started with sleeping in until 8:30 (late for us) and then we headed to Stanley Market after breakfast. Although this is a fairly touristy place, the clothing and other goods that are found there make it well worth the trip; more clothes!!
We headed back to our hotel to pick up our bags and returned to Macau on the 4:00 p.m. ferry. All in all it was a great weekend.
