Macau

What can I say about the Las Vegas of Asia? Not too much other than "Have children, will travel." We decided to hop over to Macau with Kenwyn and the girls (Doug joined us in the evening) to spend the night at the Westin Hotel which was away from the gambling and had a lovely pool. The expedition involved taking a one hour ferry ride over, getting our passports stamped and hopping on a shuttle to the resort. It was a bit of surreal deja vu driving past the strip of Casinos vying for our attention. Of course, I didn't take any pictures of said establishments. You will just have to take my word for it.


Makena napped the whole way over which made for a relaxing trip and some quality time with Jack.


Moms on the go.


The shuttle was exciting because there were no seat belts.


The kids probably spent about four to six hours at the pool. What a surprise.


I snapped this street corner scene after we left restaurant Litoral - touted the best culinary experience in all of Macau. Delicious Portuguese cuisine.

Exploring...


This was a bus stop outside another great restaurant Doug uncovered for us. It was called Fernando's and the wait to get in was worth it. We dined on sea food and stuffed ourselves silly in hundred degree weather.

Then we ran back to the hotel, grabbed a shuttle and returned to the port to hop on the ferry back to Hong Kong. All went well until Makena had a tantrum of seismic proportions upon arrival which led me to hail our own taxi back to the apartment. Jack, in classic form, rode in Amelie's cab to avoid being associated with me. His sense of preservation is quite well tuned. Frankly, I would have done the same.

What an adventure.

Is- still standing.
