The last day of the holiday is always a state of limbo or a waiting game or "how to kill time before you really have to kill time". In which case I refer to the 15 hours of flight back home to typhoon haunted Hong Kong.
Now I will allow myself a little detour from the limbo thing, that was going to be the topic of this post.
well, this early morning at the hotel suddenly Catrionas cell phone was ringing. Normally we never answer our cell phones while on holiday abroad, as it is dammed expensive. So this morning neither -saying morning is a bit of an understatement, as here in LA it was in the middle of the night- but when we got up there was a text from our beloved helper back home.
She explained that she had to stay at our house overnight as a horrible typhoon was rummaging over Hong Kong, and that while she was at our house the warning had been raised from a T 8 -which can be severely sinister- to a T 10 -which then must be sinisterly sinister, but in the time we've been at home in hongkers, we have never yet experienced- so she had to stay put, and couldn't leave to get back home, and that she'd been eating some rice and some sardines from a can from our cupboard. That poor woman, at least we had that still in there, or she would have been starving.
Detour is over, so is our US trip 2012, and the day today has been in a limbo condition, not really knowing what to do with ourselves. So we went to the museum for contemporary art and found two good places to eat, one for breakfast/ brunch and finally just now before the airport shuttle picks us up, one for dinner.
Bye USA. See you later.
