AHHH You have NO idea how giddy I am!!! I just booked my flight to Hong Kong for my brother's wedding (his fiance is Cantonese) then after a few days with the fam, I'm flyin to Tokyo to visit my friend who moved out there to become a teacher!
The best part is, I'm traveling all by myself... So that means I get to spend my $$ how I want, go SHOPPING, sight seeing...every thing... Eeek! I haven't gone anywhere by myself in a LONG time... :) And the second Best part---the ticket was only $949 (taxs & charges incl) That's such a great deal!
I leave Sept 4th--*gasp* SO little time! WTH do I pack? I've never been to Hong Kong or Tokyo...so anyone that's been...help me out here...

I have a good friend who is from Hong Kong. I'll ask her for some travel tips and get back to you. I'm very jealous!!

I was just in Hong Kong a little over a year ago. It's been many years since I was last in Tokyo. Bring good walking shoes. In Hong Kong you do a lot of walking to shop and go to restaurants. Make sure you take the Star Ferry in Victoria Harbour. It's meant as a shuttle from one side to the other. It's only about 70 cents and you don't have to get off at the other side, just take it round trip and it's a nice boat ride. There aren't really any great bargains there just lots of stuff you don't see at home. I did get my dog a really cute coat at Stanley Market, picture below.

How exciting!!! What interesting places to visit. Minus the long flight across the ocean, that would be a major fun trip. I hope you take a ton of pics.
