About Mrs. Toucan

I’m Baaaaaaaaack!

January 8th, 2008 @ 1:25 pm by Mrs. Toucan

… after traveling for 24 hours on the LONGEST.DAY.EVER. (We left Bangkok in the morning and because of the time difference arrived in New York the “same day”), I’m back from vacation!

Despite being the longest vacation that I’ve ever taken - 2 weeks (including travel time) in Hong Kong and Bangkok- it still flew by waaaay too quickly! I haven’t downloaded my Bangkok pictures yet, so for now, I will leave you with some of the highlights of Hong Kong (click to enlarge):

Row 1: Dim sum! (yum!), Riding the a Hong Kong double-decker trolley
Row 2: The Toucan kids taking the Central to Mid-Levels Escalator
Row 3: Enjoying famously delicious milk tea at Lan Fong Yuen, Hong Kong city views from the top of Victoria Peak

Row 1: Miss Toucan and family at Hong Kong Park, Hong Kong’s Times Square at night
Row 2: Ngong Ping 360 cable cars, Big Buddha at Po Lin Monastery
Row 3: Hong Kong’s New Year’s Eve pyrotechnics

Aside from seeing the sights of Hong Kong, we purchased a lot of wedding stuff!

  • My cheongsam/qipao - check!
  • Mr. T’s and Daddy Toucan’s tuxes - check! check!
  • Bridesmaid dresses and MOB dress- check! check! check! check! check!
  • Invitations ordered- check!
  • Favors- check!

So what do you all want to hear about next?

I was just scrolling through and thought, “Wait, is that.. it IS! It’s Alex!”:D And then I remembered you are her sister and it all made sense. It looks like you guys had a lot of fun! I’d love to see more pictures!

Jasmine, we originally were in Times Square, but made the dumb mistake of wondering around, to the point that the cops wouldn’t let us back into the area we were in! We ended up going back to my aunt’s condo and watching the fireworks from her balcony (where the above picture was taken from)

JCM, ahh! you caught me! I took so many pictures on the trip, that I had to download them onto my dad’s computer so I could take more pictures. Since he just arrived back in the States this afternoon, I haven’t had access to the pictures of the stores we went to! That, and like I mentioned - Sleep Deprivation! No way I’m getting in front of a camera! Buuttt… I wanted to tell you all SOMETHING - hence the tease. ;)
Pictures soon, PROMISE! :D
