Saint Paul Mn - a few more moments from the day and the birthday





Hong Kong - Chinese New Year 2015



































The entire city is decorated for the New Year.  The festivities also include a huge parade and fireworks.
The major shopping areas, and there are many of these, always put together large displays for holidays and events throughout the year.
I got out for a walk to check out a few.

Hong Kong - Chinese New Year

Hong Kong - Chinese New Year begins......


Anchorage Alaska - the unexpected stop on the way back to Hong Kong













I have always had Alaska on my list of places to go one day.
My flight to Hong Kong had the planned stop and plane change in Seattle and then off we went.  About 6 hours in we had an oxygen issue and got diverted to Anchorage Alaska.  We arrived about 730pm in the dark and headed back to the airport still in the dark about 630am.  A good nights sleep at the Hilton and then off we went for another 11 hours to Hong Kong.
Will have to go back - have already had the airport tour but much much more ground to cover - amazing views as we came in and out.
