Day 10 in Hong Kong. Still no movement on this one (other than our ..er.. cheering from the sidelines).

"....Watch out for the LAND SHARKS!....."
....so, stomach reasonally still in-tact, after witnessing first-hand the horrors known to the Free World as Fear Factor, we decided to head out in the direction of New England, famous for their wicked-cool games of chance, LOB-stahs and that fiendish toothy foe, JAWS.....be wary of the beast of the deep, or he will undoubtedly snatch hold of your loved ones.....oh no! Too late!
....I guess Jesse will have to rethink a career as a world-famous pianist...
Looking back, I suppose it was prophetic to capture these few moments, since the Jaws attraction is no longer there...
...the day was coming to a fast-close, so, after trying our hand at some of those games [with no luck], we decided to wander back to the entrance, still no sight of our friends. We had reservations that early evening for Fishbones, one of our absolute favorite 'off-Disney property' eateries....a bit pricey, but favored by the locals...
....OMG, wait a sec! Is it??? Do we spot them??? Could it BE??? YESSSSSS, our friends, as they approached us:
...a quick left at the entrance, and we were on our way out:
.....okay, so now my stomach was grumbling and Fishbones was calling me....

"....Tastes just like CHICKEN!....."
.....sooooo, the plan was to go back, upon the unrelenting urging of Ron, to the villa to freshen up and relax before dinner. Unfortunately, the time constraint did not allow for such frivolity and nonsense. Besides, we missed the turn-off and got a bit lost and had to back-pedal, by way of the Convention Center, traversing Universal Blvd, to finally arrive at Fishbones on time:
...it's located on Sand Lake Road, next to the Marriott Residence Inn, and reportedly favored by the locals. The warm and inviting cozy 'cavernous' feel as you enter is only heightened by the oak wood fire-burning pit that succulently cooks your aged prime rib to perfection. There were several dining rooms, each reflecting its own brand of ambiance - we were immediately seated in the back dining room, with its own feeling of coziness and old Florida bayou charm:
...once seated, we immediately ordered wine, along with one of their renowned delicacies, alligator nuggets, served with a delightful dipping sauce. Well, the phrase "tastes just like chicken" certainly is appropos here, because, well, deep-fried gator nuggets do that - taste JUST LIKE CHICKEN! ( honestly, I don't know if ALL alligator meat tastes like chicken, but I can vouch for Fishbone's version!
) ....oh BTW, I hope you aren't expecting food porn here either....needless-to-say, dinner was enjoyed by all, and the best part was, once again, I didn't have to cook it.....
....we were just too darned stuffed to order any semblance of dessert, so a few of us opted for a cup of coffee. We really need to walk off that gargantuan meal, and contemplated revisiting DTD. We drove towards Route 4 and points south-west, only to be pleasantly surprised by the sight of fireworks in the near distance - turns out it was Disney's Summer Nightastic! Fireworks display at MK....
....well, we WERE really far away!

Wait a minute....... do the "rules" say you're allowed to start another trippie when you haven't finished the one from several years back yet? Or is this a continuation of that one?!!! 
I haven't voted for a title yet. I'm still deciding between 2 or 3..............
Brandi - don't faint!!
