Our trip to Hongkong was something memorable although it was not the most favorable. We had an unexpected payment we have to deal with the immigration at the airport. We had problem with our hotel reservation.
My husband already booked the hotel before we fly but the moment to the hotel it ends up that the room was not paid off. We had the printed copy of the booking but the hotel person insisted that they didn't charge it because they don't accept the credit card that my husband was using to purchased and pay the room. There was a long discussion for misunderstanding with the owner of the hotel and some staff that ends up us being told to find another hotel.
Since we thought that everything was paid off, so the budget we had was just enough for something we could plan for the rest of the days including foods. We had no extra budget to get for another hotel for even on that day. I was scared and felt like crying because my mind run so fast and think we will end up in the streets. And the place where we at, at that moment was not the safest place. We felt so helpless.
The good thing happened was that there was someone who I never met on person neither my husband but only on that very day, offered help despite of her being busy. I only know her sister Cristy, who was my classmate during college. Her name is Nicelyn Selatona. She was truly and angel sent by GOD for us along with her sister Cristy and the Church people. She met us in the airport and accompanied us to the hotel that we were supposed to stay. But because of the circumstance we bumped in to, she lets us stayed at her place for all days instead.
At her place we got to enjoy the beach and picking up shells and clams. The boys were enjoying swimming in the beach, trying to catch or run away from the waves. My family got to experience things we never experience. We been in a fast craft ferries....in a train....double deck buses...got wet in the rain in the first day and the last (we just think it was a blessing :) )...witnessed the thunders and lightnings strike with a strong wind that feels like would lift you up.
We are thankful for all the people who helped us and made sure we are safe and protected. I cannot put into words how thankful I am to be able to met you all and received the blessings of GOD.
The vacation was not really planned but grateful coz GOD had planned it for us. Overall it was quiet and experience.
Again from the bottom of our hearts we "Thank you" to GOD and "Thank you All!"
