MGMacau

This morning we woke up and took the ferry from Hong Kong to Macau. In our family, no reunion would be complete without the following:

* Obscene amounts of food
* Overflowing glasses of liquor
* Gambling

And since my grandmother likes nothing more than to flirt with lady luck on the casino floor, we arrived at the "Asian Vegas" to take over the MGM Grand. After another hearty dim sum meal, we split up.

Approximately 30 of us are now roaming around the island. Some are at the hotel's baccarat tables, others have gone to alternative casinos where they expect to have better luck and a few have gone to tour the island.

Meanwhile, Lil' Sis' Panda!!!!, a few cousins and I went to the hotel pool to get some sun. We frolicked in the water until the sun left and sipped some cocktails poolside. It's nice to be someplace where summer doesn't mean cold, foggy days, like in San Francisco. And it was nice to be in a hotel where we could just relax for a few hours, not feel obligated to spend time with the rest of the family, and just decompress a bit.
