Hong Kong!

This is the last trip report to the Maldives, a $19,734 value trip for $1,135! If you missed them, my previous posts have all the details.

We spent two nights at the Crowne Plaza near the Hong Kong version of Times Square, using IHG points. Our first night, we went out to dinner with friends, then walked around the Tsim Sha Tsui area…

We got great views of the free nightly light show – they light up buildings choreographed to music!

The next day we headed to the “Ladies Market,” an outdoor shopping experience extraordinaire (I bought four purses/bags)!

Even though it was poor visibility, we went to Victoria Peak via the bus to “see” the lights of the city since it was our last chance.
