This blog was written on my Asiana flight 222 from Incheon to JFK, my return trip from Asia. On this trip I met with clients in Beijing and Hong Kong to discuss our newest product, eFlyer Asia. I also had the opportunity to meet with eFlyer Asia’s editor, Joyce Woo. I enjoyed a little R&R while I was in two of the biggest and most-traveled cities in Asia. I stayed in three great properties, the Regent Beijing, the InterContinental Hong Kong and the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong. These are some of the best hotels in the world. Top all of this off with Asiana’s first-class service, and I had a truly magnificent experience. I spent the last ten days meeting with over 15 hoteliers and taking advantage of the sites in Beijing and Hong Kong. I climbed the Great Wall, toured the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and the magnificent Olympics complex (the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube). In Hong Kong, I played golf at the Jockey Club Course (three 18-hole courses). The Jockey Club Course is located on a beautiful island that was once used by the British Navy for artillery practice. I wrapped up the trip with a cruise on the Aqualuna that traveled from Public Pier 9 to Stanley Market and back and with a massage at Grand Hyatt’s Plateau Spa where I stayed the last night (in residence).
