Man, what a long travel day yesterday! Normally, it would have taken us 2 hours and 20 minutes door to door from Shanghai airport to Hong Kong. But yesterday due to Chinese air traffic control, we never left until 5:30pm! Our flight was to leave at 2:40pm! Then with all the people coming to HK and with the ever so efficient HK planning, the immigration queue took over 45 minutes! Must have modeled after the TO airport I experienced back in May. Bloody stupid. So, from the time we left the airport, 12:45pm, we arrived in our room in Hong Kong at 9:30pm! Good thing we only had to go to the Sheraton Kowloon.
There is nothing writing home about at the Sheraton Kowloon. We requested a King size bed over a week ago, nothing. The lobby and restaurant were huge; the room was small but a little bigger than the one we stayed at the Kowloon Hotel I bitterly complained. There is no advantage with the Gold Sheraton Preferred Guest membership card. The most it offered us last night was a HK$80 drink ONLY voucher. O boy! But I should give the hotel a bit of credit for fast and efficient service at the Cafe restaurant there though. Service was excellent. Of course, just like any other hotel, the b'fast was expensive; well, didn't have time to run around this morning. I would rather eat something else 8 times vs only once with the amount for the b'fast. Yes, for Dave, that would have been having freshly squeezed Guava juice 18 times!
Must run now....
One thing forgot telling you all.... At the Pudong Airport in Shanghai, the washroom cleaning crew could be either male or female attendants; and you should NOT be surprise seeing a female one cleaning while the men were doing their business in there. ;-) China, everyone is equal.....
