Honeymoon Day 1-SG-HK-SF-LA (25 Oct 2008)

After more than 5 mths, we finally went on our honeymoon! Many people wonder why we waited for so long before we went .... well, cos of a new job, i couldn't take long leave earlier. It was also better for us as we had time in between to sort out finances and settle down a bit in new home first. So its not too bad ... at least we had time to plan and think about the trip, rather than rush off on the plane straight after the hectic wedding and house reno stuff.

Our flight departed at 6am in the morning of Oct 25 and we had to be at the airport at 4am. Daddy and Mummy were so sweet to pick us from our home the night before. Mum even specially ordered awesome durians for us taste before they, together with Sheena and James drove us to the airport from my parents' place.

It was significant for me becos my parents always send me to the airport for all my past trips...and i was touched they did so even when the hours were not convenient.

Us at T3 Wang Cafe for breakfast...all looking rather sleepy and in a daze:

It sure felt good to have family members sending us off on our trip. Here are the must-have shots before departing for holidays!:

Off we went to California, United States :)

People wonder why we chose to go to the US...well its a case of us wanting to compromise with each other again, so we decided on a place that sort of meet each of our desires - shopping + fun & excitement :)

Hours and hours of flight ....after transiting at HK, we arrived at San Francisco.....

We had to go through the customs, pick up our luggages and then transfer on a domestic flight to Los Angeles.

In between, we had some free time and thus hung around at SF airport. Had our first meal in the US at the airport....pizza that is baked on a brick fireplace:

Dear was feeling sick after the long flight and I was so worried for him....he was feeling feverish and had a bad cold.....we also didn't bring any flu medication so even though it cost about US$3 to buy a cold tablet, we still bought it and i prayed that he will recover soon so that we can enjoy the rest of the trip!

We arrived at LA and took a coach transfer to Anaheim - the town where Disneyland is...it is about over an hour drive from LA. That night, we had our dinner nearby the hotel....at Denny's! A restaurant we used to visit as kids.....so glad to go there again :)

It was back to the hotel to rest after the close to 24 hours of flight to prepare for our next day out!
