Fish Spa

By | Animals and Pets, Spas, Travel | No Comments

Dad and Mom told us about this and Javier could not stop nagging them to bring us here!! It’s by the Shops at Four Seasons which is near the Venetian.  It’s an experience you should not miss!

There are 3 pools with 3 sizes of fish

Small

Medium

Large- takes a bit more courage to do this because they have bigger mouths…. but eventually it is okay

Locker to put your things

Then they give you croc like slippers

Then they wash your feet first

It took us quit some time to get used to it since it was our first time.  Except for Dad and Mom

Funny reactions!  Took them so long before they actually kept their legs steady inside the pool

Bonding for us 🙂  Dad didn’t join anymore since he said he did it already. hmmmm 🙂

If you want more fish to go to you, I suggest you go to a pool where you can have the pool to yourself so all the fish will go to you!  You will have more nibblers 🙂

They also have  massage and reflexology

Beijing Kitchen Grand Hyatt Hotel Macau

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

When we checked in the hotel, it was past lunch already so we were hungry.  We drove past the bridge to get to the other side to get to Hyatt hotel to try Beijing Kitchen.  IT WAS WORTH IT!!!

Since we arrived at around 2pm already, the waitress told us that we would have to wait 30 minutes for a whole order of peking duck but we would get a half order right away – so of course we chose the half! 🙂  Maybe someone ordered half at the same time we arrived.  We were so hungry and I guess good for us anyway not to have too much especially of the skin! It is WOOD FIRED OVEN Peking Duck!

Wynn Macau

By | Accomodations, Travel | One Comment

The Wynn hotel is one of the newest hotels in Macau and we were happy to be here.  It looks exactly like the Vegas hotel and even the rooms are the same.  There are two towers – Encore Towers and Wynn Towers.  We stayed at the Wynn Towers but James said we should have stayed at the Encore.  I was already happy where we were…and so nice to have a nice home in Macau

Turbo Jet to Macau

By | Travel | No Comments

From Hong Kong, we took the Turbo Jet to Macau.  So easy and fast! Just about an hour boat ride.   I have never been to Macau so you cannot imagine how excited I was to be riding the boat and waiting to experience a new place! 🙂

Not so easy when you have plenty baggage but they have porters to assist
