I have already said that we thought the cost would be within our budget but already it was getting a bit close and we were wondering what we could do. We did not want to take out any of the elements of the trip as we don't think we will pass that way again.
Ruy Baretto invited us to stay with him in Hong Kong, which is wonderful. It is exciting to be meeting him as we have corresponded by email in the past and his granny and mine are related somewhere back up the family tree. I could give you details but unless you are family I suspect you won't be interested. This is a big saving so I hope Ruy will be looking forward to having us to stay as much as we are looking forward to it.
Tone then thought about the fact that we have been saving airmiles from our Tesco shopping for a long time and had not used many. He suggested we investigate using them towards the flights back from Hong Kong. We had 69.000 airmiles and we were really pleased to find that two single flights with BA from Hong Kong cost 60.000 airmiles. So we booked them! Great saving and more to spend on pcs and doing things when we are away. Result!
