JUL 13, 17 .. JET LAG FINALLY SLAMMED ME
As I am navigating my way through each day, I keep thinking to myself the following thought :
“This is not for the faint of heart.”
If I did not have decades of International Travel behind me and under my figurative belt, I couldn’t be doing this.
I know Hong Kong to the point that when I get into the MTR system..
I just go on auto-pilot to the correct car to board in order to de-board at the proper place when I get to my destination wondering to myself .. “How did I just do that?”
Last night the Jet Lag finally caught up with me and really slammed me. I slept over 12-hours and did not feel all that good when I dragged myself up this morning.
I went to the Airport Express Station at 8am this morning and spoke with actual Mongolian Airline employees so I now have that zeroed-in for next Thursday the 20th. I think that I will do the Airport Express and NOT take a taxi out to the airport. I feel that strong and will have only three bags with me. One will be checked and two carried aboard (my backpack and my CPAP mini-suitcase).”
Tonight I am paying for two rooms. I took my big bag to my new room this noontime. Tomorrow I will then have my small suitcase, backpack and CPAP mini-suitcase. This saves me the rigors of checking out of the YMCA at 11am and having to wait for my new room until 3pm.
Shades of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
When I got to the Chungking Mansions and my new hostel they said they had no rooms. I paid in full yesterday for 7-night stay.
They then said I could pay HKG $250 and have a double room. My single is HKG $170. I said no. So they gave me a room on the 8th floor for my suitcase. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. Again I know them (Patti this is the place with the amazing corner room we stayed in) so I just stood my ground.
I can NOT stay more than 7-nights in a calendar month at the YMCA and my visit is longer than 7-days so I had to move.
Over and Out for now.
Much Joy .. Cap

Jet lag or whatever … I know you KNOW to rest when you run out of steam. Bummer on the room at Chung King Mansions not being available although you had PAID for it … but I am glad that you at least got the largest suitcase transferred so that you do not have to “wait” with that tomorrow to check into your Chung King room. Still, I have to wonder what you do with you and your backpack and CPAP suitcase between noon check out at the YMCA and the 3 PM check in at Chung King. I know you will figure it out, still … sigh … I cannot help but be concerned. Love, Patti
I am NOT talking while the flavor lasts. Step ahead to July 14th and read .. The Rest of The Story. Much Love. Cap
Just wondering….why are you not at the HOMY Inn? Are they full, too? Frankly, I’m glad you are at the YMCA and NOT at that firetrap Chungking Mansions.
PS: That’s Patti ahead of you on the escalator. You’re fudging on the photos, Cap. (Actually, I’m just jealous that you’re able to find the photos you want when you want)
