Taste of home: bacon, French toast, eggs, sausage, waffles, pancakes, syrup, shakes, etc. Good for stomach and heart! #flyingpanhk #nomnom

Another dip into the South China Sea out on Cheung Chau Island, a locale with old character, delicious snacks, and the need for a few cleaning crews. #hongkongadventure #southchinasea

Typhoon Haima made landfall just east of Hong Kong and only gave us lots of rain. #haima #rainynotscary

In Phuket, Thailand, they sell gas by the liter - literally. #mopedseverywhere 40 Bahts/liter = about $4.50 per gallon

All TV channels are now coverage of the king's passing. One year of mourning and 30 days muted entertainment.

King Bhumibol Adulyadej died after 88 years on Earth and 70 as monarch of Thailand. Will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings. #prayersplease

Thailand's rainy season lasts all summer and through October. Have to put up with occasional strong showers but it also saves about $1,000. #thriftyvacation Less crowded everywhere also!

Our beach in Phuket is apparently very popular for engaged couple. We have seen about 8 different couple in 3 days. B almost got into one of the #photoshoots !

Tsunami Memorial. Can't believe it was 12 years ago now when it hit. A local showed me where it hit his shop 6 feet above ground. #thailandtsunami2004 #happytopfloorhotelroom

Don't clean your screen: those dots are hang gliders. Seem to be out every weekend over Ma On Shan County Park. #bucketlist #saikungsight. Now when we go to Sai Kung B asks if we are going to go fly!
