Hi Guys,

This time next week i'll be on the plane bound for Hong Kong

My trip consists of:

Tuesday June 24th - Qantas from Melbourne to Hong Kong - layover for 7 hours, have purchased a pass to an airport lounge

Wednesday June 25th - Emirates from Hong Kong, via Dubai, to Barcelona. Will meet up with my parents in Dubai who are coming direct from Brisbane, and we will fly together to Barcelona.

Friday June 27th - Drive to Valencia

Saturday June 28th - Drive to Monachil and check into Villa for 2 weeks. Over the next 2 weeks there will be about 15 extended family members coming and going at various times (most from Australia, a couple from UK).

Friday July 11th - Drive to Bilbao with parents and my sister

Saturday July 12th - Drive to Bordeaux

Sunday July 13th - Drive to Orcival

Monday July 14th - Bastille Day - Drive to Lyon

Tuesday July 15th - Daytrip to Paris from Lyon - will leave my sister here

Wednesday July 16th - Drive to Aix-En-Provence

Thursday July 17th - Drive to Girona

Friday July 18th - Drive to Barcelona, where i will fly out in the afternoon for Hong Kong, via Dubai

Saturday July 19th - My DH will fly from Melbourne to Hong Kong, and i will meet him there! This is the day of the whole trip i think i'm most excited for
We will check into our hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui for a week, and spend 7 days exploring Hong Kong. Neither of us have ever been!

We have 2 day tickets for Disneyland. We plan to spend 1 whole day there, and also most likely go back in the afternoon after we do the Ngong Ping Cable Car. We'll be there during school holidays so i'm quite wary of crowd numbers, although we've done Disneyland in California in the middle of summer a couple of times so i guess we'll be used to it.

Does anyone have anything specific they want me to check out in HKG Disneyland? Or anywhere else i'm going i guess! I'll do a full trip report when i get home which will hopefully have some general park information. I have already gotten great information myself from PrincessinOz and Zanzibar so i hope i can live up to their great reports!

Ooh that sounds really exciting and so good to hear you plan to post a TR on your return. I would love to hear about all the destinations-I'm just a TR junkie (I confess I was the one who loved dad's slide shows as a kid so it's all his fault.). Extra nice to be including friends and family as part of the trip. Have a brilliant time and safe flights.

Two days to goooo!

Are you getting any sleep with all the excitement? hehe I hope you have a great time!!

I don't really have any requests - although I always appreciate photos of merchandise haha I have a friend who travels back to HK almost every year. She's not a Disney freak, but she has brought me back some cool things from the Disney store in the airport.
