mga sis, we'll be in hongkong end of october, 5d4n (package tour)...gusto ko sana extend ng 6 days and 5 nights para makapag-stay kami ng 1 night sa macau...ask ko lang hassle ba na dalhin na namin luggage pagsakay namin ng ferry to macau then back to hongkong para diretso na sa flight namin?super dami ba ng passengers and masikip na ba sa ferry if dadalhin pa namin luggage namin? kami lang kasi ni hubby plus our 2 yo son, worried ako na masyadong mahirapan si hubby...ano kaya pwede naming gawin? sayang kasi kung magbabayad pa kami ng another night sa hotel sa hk para lang iwan yung gamit namin 

[purple29]

mga sis, try to check taisan harilela branch. The place is also clean and very near TST station.

@imeego, im just not sure if you can extend since naka package tour kayo but if kung pwede, you can leave your luggages at the hotel after you check out then go to macau na. That's what we did before and binalikan na lang namin yung mga gamit the following day.

[princess lorraine]

^sis, yung mga luggages niyo kelangan check in before kayo sumakay ng ferry to and from macau. 

[imeego]

^ah ok sis, so ok naman pala na dalhin na namin...thanks ha

[blackberryqueen]

Just came back from Hongkong 3 days ago.. Too crowded even on weekdays, so expect super-long queues sa Disney and OP.. Magbaon ng umbrella, to avoid getting roasted by the scorching hot sun, and sudden downpour. Bring fan too, kasi pagpapawisan talaga, while falling in line for almost an hour in each ride.

[kidsrepublik]

^correct sis.
Dagdag ko lang aside from umbrella and fan bring the ff ESP if nakapila ka sa Disney, OP at Peak
Water- to help you cool, lalo na king may kids
Hanky and back towels- bring 2-3 extra, Grabe ang pawis namen
Extra shirts- for the whole family, Yung maninipis Lang para Hindi mabigat
Sunblock - masakit sa balat kapag ang tagal mo na sa araw

Tip sa pagpila:
Since 8adults kami and 2kids, lagi namen hinaharang yung side bars sa pila. Kapag nalingat ka lang saglit maraming sumisingit na wlang modong Chinese. Bastusan talaga kung bastusan. Mahirap makipagaway since Hindi kayo nagkakaintindihan. Bina box out na Lang namen sila para Wala talagang sumisingit.

Tip sa pagbili:
Mongkok/YaMaTei day market.
Keep your children away from fragile items. Yung baby ko kasi was playing with an angry bird wall clock. Nalalag Nya and nabasag Yung glass, but still working. We're willing to pay but Yung tindera gave us HKD69 as price. Nagulat Si hubby sa mahal. It's not his first time kasi sa HK, kaya advise na humanap sa ibang tindahan para alamin Yung price. Pagbalik ko nakikipagsigawan na Si hubby sa mga tindera, I asked what's the commotion, he said hinihila daw Yung damit at camera bag niya papasok ng stall, eh bitbit niya Si baby. Binigay ko agad Kay yaya Si baby, at hinagis ang HKD20, saying no good sales for you, Sabay alis. Hindi naman kami hinabol, may nakita kaming same clock in a few stalls, payag sila HKD20 Kung bibilhin namen. Nakakainis kasi purket nasira Lang eh tatagain ka na sa presyo, marami pa kami mabibili sa hinihingi nyang price.

Ayun Lang mga sissies, advice Lang, be wise and stay safe

[imeego]

@purple29

now ko lang nabasa reply mo sis ganun ba? anyway, try ko na din ask sa travel agent namin if possible pa magpa-extend...ah so pwede din palang iwan na lang muna sa hotel yung luggage after check-out..based on your experience sis, safe naman yung ganun? i mean, wala bang nawala?

[rocky]

^based on experience, safe naman sis. basta dalhin nyo na lang yong mga valuables.

Joining!!! 

Hello mga sis! We're planning to go to hk pero di pa ko nakakapagpareserve or pabook ng kahit ano. Nagbabasa basa pa lang ako dito ng mga tips! Gusto ko sanang mag hk ng mga nov5-9 siguro... Ano ba masusuggest nyong date na medyo malamig na? Yung date na yan malamig na kaya mga sis?!

Isa pang question po? Im thinking na mag guesthouse na lang gaya ng mga ka gt natin dito, pero yung friend ko sabi may babies akong dala (3yo yung eldest and 9mos yung bunso by that time) kaya di daw advisable mag guesthouse,
Kung hotel naman magkano ba cheapest sa tst? San ako pwede tumingin online?! 

And isa pang question, nabasa ko kasi from sis rocky na 30k nagastos nya pag naghk, pati macau na ba yun? As in lahat lahat na yun? Pati mga entrance and fare? So pag kami ng hubby and kids ko x3 yun (kasi yung bunso free pa naman diba?)

[_pink12_]

^Pwede naman mag-guesthouse sis kahit may baby. What's the reason of your friend's advice? Siguro dahil medyo masikip lang sa guesthouse pero carry pa rin if you're really on a tight budget. Just book a family room para medyo malaki.

For hotels, marami ng na-suggest na hotels sa previous thread. Try Hotel Benito or Shamrock Hotel.

[imeego]

@rocky:

thanks sis, sige baka ganun na lang gawin namin, mas convenient kasi may toddler kaming kasama, kawawa na si hubby magbitbit pa ng luggage namin

[rocky]

^^sis rinrin, pa-book ka muna ng airline ticket, 5D4N ok na yon para mapuntahan mo yong mga tourist spot. last week ng november ka pumunta para winter. 1st week ng november hindi pa ramdam yan.
