On the way home

For those of you waiting with bated breath to see how my teeth are...you'll have to wait for a picture because can't upload on the iPad. However they are finally finished and in working order. They feel a bit odd. I hope I get used to my new mouth soon. I don't quite know how to eat! Still they are comfortable and look pretty good. The whitening wasn't a great success so sadly I won't look like Shane Warne.
There was a last minute rush to get them fitted and I was still there at 6.39 last night. In our family we call it " waiting for the tailor" after a rather stressful time in Bangkok. I wasn't really happy to have to have a last minute rush. I would have preferred a day or so to try them out before I left Manila so that felt a bit annoying. Anyway they work and I had crispy pork for dinner a local speciality of pork crackling broken up and covered with gravy. I don't know how to count the weightwatchers points on that one. The Health and Leisure Travel agent shouted me dinner and I don't mind giving them a free plug, Eena has been wonderful. The lovely George came to pick me up at 3 am this morning and I joined the queue that ran out of the " worst airport in the world" and down the street. I have coined the phrase "line buddy" for times like this when you make your new best friend waiting for 2 hours to reach the desk. I have seen the skyline of Hong Kong and looking forward to coming here in 2 1/2 months with Sandy and Barb. At the moment I'm in a nice lounge, relaxing, waiting for my connection to wet Brisbane. There seem to be some rather tall gorgeous girls in track suits who may be the tennis players from the Australian Open in the lounge with me. One just walked in with a shopping bag from Chanel! I thought those shops were just decoration. By the way there have been more than 1100 viewings of my blog from as far away as Russia, USA England Germany. It has been fun for me to share the trip and I hope you've enjoyed the journey.
