Bob, I am much relieved to learn that you and Nicole are safe. The resort areas in Thailand and Indonesia are always very popular places for Hong Kong people during Christmas holidays to escape from the cold weather here.If not for the spicy food there, our family also preferred going there for a break. We finally chose Guilin, a province in China for a 4 day trip and were just back.We still lose contact with over 200 Hong Kong people and the government is trying their best to offer help. Compared with those who lost their life or their beloved ones in a split second,cancer patients and survivors should consider themselves very lucky.
