The Hodge Blog

Join the eponymous Hodge and his bunch of fiftysomething mates on a laughter and alcohol fuelled trip to Hong Kong to celebrate his 50th Birthday. Chart their progress through the planning stages, the gruelling flight from the UK, first impressions of HK, success, or failure, at Happy Valley Races and the casinos of Macau, and the special treat that awaits the Birthday Boy. A certain amount of poetic licence may be employed by the authors, so don’t believe everything you read!

The Last Post?

Last post before we go mobile so things might get a bit sporadic, or even non-existent, from now on. Meister should be in the air shortly as he's the advance party, Pete and Hodge will be arriving at Heathrow around 3pm to check-in and get maximum drinking time before the 6:40 flight. Lons will be catching a connecting flight from the North and meeting us at Heathrow and Don is on his way up from Brighton by horsebox. I'm trusting my journey to Greenline buses and based on previous experience aim to get one that arrives at Heathrow around 2:30 on the basis that I should be there by 4:00. Kiwi?, I have no idea really, he may still be in a queue outside the Chinese Embassy waiting for his passport back.

Off we go !! See you in Hong Kong unless there's a chance for a pre-flight post.

Well things have started well as I've been granted access to the BA Exec Lounge - not bad for a Scouser!

Flight has a slight delay however given my 'Executive Status' I'm informed I'll be rushed to the front of the poor people:-)

So for now this is Lons hanging up for a couple of hours.
