The START!!!!

Greetings family and friends it is the beginning of my Asian
Adventure :). My first unstructured extended international
holiday. It is my hope to post a few photos and journal the travels
of this world class explorer. Thanks to Howard in PEI this soon to be
pulitzer prize winning blog is off the ground :) I had a wonderful
meal with Lia and Kevin and I am soon off to the airport for my
Cathay Pacific flight which departs for Hong Kong at 2am Sunday
morning arriving 730am Monday Hong Kong time. I plan to be there for
three nights and then on to Bangkok to see my brother-in-law Robert.
There may be a third country in the plans but I will not at this time
disclose any details??!! :):) I am so sorry for not returning some
of the calls that came in today from all you well wishers but I was
behind in the old schedule and have been in a bit of a panic up until
this moment. It was a very challenging week as I taught the three
day course "Covey 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" to a group of
RCMP employees and several external partners. That, as well as
wrapping up with work and preparing to be away for a month made it a
bit hectic. Enough with the domestic chatter. I know it is stories
of high adventure you now seek and that is what you you will find
here as one calamity after another will unfold :)....so wish me luck .
Love Pete

Hey Pete,

I understand you made it to HK! Great city, curious to see when you'll post stuff. Forgot to mention a great place for a quick late night snack - the Thai Hut! Walk left out of hotel on Lockhart Road, just across the 1st cross street (Luard Road I believe). They usually have the BBQ set up on the curb and they do amazing satay!

Please write soon! See you thursday!
