Aerotel Changi Airport T1

4am off plane. Droopy eyelids seeking sleep in Changi airport T1. Easy check in. Quiet hotel & passage way. Almost heaven! Smooth thousands stitch sheets. Shut eyes. The air conditioner hums & hums. Ear plugs & pillow over the head don't entirely muffle it. Some sleep but couldn't have been alot. Large screen tv. Wading pool to freshen up. Hot coffee. Fast check out. $55 for 6 hour block. Relatively large rooms.  Check the aircond in room 9. Wifi is airport 3 hour free wifi.  Could have been perfect.

Broadwater Beach Resort Busselton

We were in Busselton for the 1/2 Marathon in Oct. 3 of us stayed in a chalet with 2 rooms and an upper deck. Actually sleeps 6 for $300 per night. Kitchen, washing machine and dryer were available. The heater worked and was a savior as there was a cold winter blast. We got up at 5 to get ready. The microwave was handy for the sweet potatoes before the 1/2 marathon run. There was ample parking and the reception was nice. We did not eat in the restaurant on site but ate out most times. There is an indoor swimming pool and BBQ area but we did not swim.

The route for the run below. The hospital above just in case we needed treatment from hypothermia. 

Brisbane Convention & Ehibition Centre

We had 900 registrants at our annual society meeting. Can hold up to 9 times that number on the very large location.

Also had the latino themed conference dinner there. It is a large meeting place and sometimes if not well sign posted can get lost on the way to there. The acoustics were good. Staff were efficient. The food was ok. The music for he conference dinner was too loud so we were not able to stay and chat. I stayed at the Ibis Styles on Elizabeth street about 1.1 km away for $110 per night. It was next to the casino and I enjoyed the morning walk there every day. Weather was good in Oct.

Langham Place Mongkok Hong Kong

We were in Hk for a festival with the two teenagers and the "home affairs" chief. Wanted to get some sports shoes and clothes for the teeeners.

Walked here after filling the wallet at the local bank in Jordan. Pleasant day. The multi story super long escalators are a hit with the family. We toook them right up to the top then window shopped down.

Also had lunch here. At Chee kei restaurant. There is also a restaurant on site. We took the train to Causeway bay to get the G shock watch fiexd.

Sama Sama Express KLIA

Arrived at 930 pm in KL international airport. Had a domestic flight at 930 in the morning to Kota Kinabalu. I read all the instructions carefully and noted that I could not leave the transit terminal to get into the hotel. Only could enter with hand carry. Check in was easy. It was busy even at 1030 pm at night when I got to the hotel lobby. Prior to this I did some shopping and bought some cigars as a gift for my host in KK. Room was small but had all the amenities. After a shower had a good sleep. Even though you can see the aeroplanes the hotel is well sound proofed. In the morning after getting up I went to the domestic transit area. Had breakfast in the MAS lounge and got on my plane to KK. On the MAS flight to KK we had an economy class passenger come up to the business area and delivered air rage to the air steward when he was asked to return to economy. Must have had a bad night of sleep. Obviously did not stay at the Sama Sam Express. A little pricey as you pay by 8 hour blocks but worth it for the sleep.

Ibis styles Brisbane Elizabeth St

Smooth as silk check in. Great location. Close to eats & short walk to convention center about 1km away across river & bridge.  Right on CBD so easy to have meetings with offices in CBD. I didn't have breakfast as has breakfast meetings. Continental breakfast included. Extra $15 for hot breakfast.  Didn't use car parking and this by third parties. I did catch the bus from airport & would suggest the train due to the traffic delays at office hours if u don't have a lot of luggage. I used the gym twice but needs aircond and bring your own towels. Small rooms with all the basics. Nice bright colours.

Novotel Nathan rd Kowloon

We stayed 3 nights over a long weekend in Kowloon. The hotel lobby entrance was by a long escalator so there was a large waiting space at entrance with concierge & gym entrance. The rooms were small but had most necessity even a pack of condoms and adapter. Breakfast was good given it was complimentary with chef to cook & serve eggs & omelets. Fruits and traditional foods like beef or chicken congee and stir fried vegetables! Gym was well equipped but we were not able to change tv channels. Good air conditioning to keep you cool during work out. Free drinks on arrival including alcoholic beverages. Free wifi. Close to Jordan MRT 10 min walk. 5 min walk to A22 direct bus to airport on Corner of Cox road. Generally a tidy travelers package. We will be back!
