Hong Kong the 7th
We had points to fly to Hong Kong but there wasn't a lot of flexibility about the dates - pretty much May or not at All. We spent much of the trip doing family things, but we did get out to see the fruit market, Visit Tai O Village and go to the beach at Shek O.

A Fourth Trip to Japan
We have visited Japan in the spring (for cherry blossoms) and the fall

Hong Kong for Chinese New
Years
We had a trip to Japan planned for the spring, and if you are crossing

visited Chinese New Years Celebrations at local temples, and visited

Costa Rica
Helen and I were just recently married and we figured a trip to some

India
My grandfather served in India in World War II so stories and artifacts
from India spiced up my childhood. I had time off with my Sabbatical so
I decided to go. I visited Delhi, two national parks, the Thar desert
and a number of smaller cities.

New Zealand
Sean and Catherine were getting married outside of Auckland and if you

around and see more of the place. Saw some of the North and South
Island.
