I find myself responding to this thread even though I cannot attend, please take the following with the humour intended. In 2024 when first discussed in HKG I was all in, what was planned as a simple visit, do a lounge crawl and come home somehow morphed into a family trip, 4-5 weeks. Over the past 2 years, well at least the past 12 months to be accurate, I have spent more points and cash changing things based on the whims of Mrs&MissN's evolving plans. In the end MrsN said we are not going, it has become the most expensive lounge crawl I never attended.
Take the following in jest, raise a glass to an absent friend. My only saving grace and thought pattern is I am not having to drop a significant amount of Euro or Stirling per day, instead I am knocking up spaghetti and sauce at home with MissN's dog getting under my feet.
Hopefully I can make 2027, where ever that may be.
