8/15/09 pushing the envelope or as good as it gets??

8/15/09 pushing the envelope or as good as it gets??

Only 730 pm in hk but ready to pass out.
Actually been ready to pass out since last night but my getting older body doesn't sleep very well in econ seats anymore. 8 hr in an econ seat, Half awake and a surreal first time drive /reliance on a gps telling me 1/2 the time to slowdown, arrived at Katoomba's lilianfels 2 hr after landing and promptly passed out briefly after breakfast

Great scenery 5 min from here at Echo Point Very touristy and Disneylike with paved walkway, skyways, rail, cablecar. And really REALLY loud groups of Asians. Esp the Chinese and the Koreans. But nevertheless had almost an equal number and no less egregious groups of birds. Saw the blown up versions of HK mid level white cockatoos chubby crimson red parrots and etc.

Haha if I afford to fly biz all the time I could come and spend every weekend in Australia! Even winter is not sooo bad. 20 celsius with sun was very pleasant. Real estate away from the cities are affordable, laid back locals, fresh produce, maybe I should convince my bro and his better half to move to Australia vs the other way around. (she's moved to hk).

Unlike flying to La or Sf where i end up not only with one free day only + 16 hr time difference. Here time diff only 2 hr for same cost to phuket/bali and 2 whole days

As good as it gets
