下机后 -- 寻找“往内地/澳门快船票务处”的告示牌 -- 在柜台购票 （出示luggage tag,以便工作人员代领/ 搬运机舱行李）-- 把红色的帖子粘上（方便工作人员辨认） -- 等待登船/购物/上网/休息 --入闸 -- 乘坐电子火车到海天客运码头 -- 登船 -- 约50分钟后抵达澳门 --通关 -- 领取行李 --
抵达香港国际机场后，无需领取寄放机舱的行李，也无需通关(入香港）！
Upon arrival at HKIA -- look for the direction to "Ferries to Mainland/ Macao Ticketing" --purchase the tickets at the counter (submit the luggage tag) -- paste the red sticker for easy recognition -- shop/ go online/ catch some rest while waiting for the boarding time -- enter the gate-- board the train to Skypier for ferry boarding -- the journey takes around 50 mins to reach Macao -- go through Immigration -- collect the luggages
Hassle free, no need to collect check-in luggages nor go through (Hong Kong) immigration upon arrival at HKIA!

皇家金堡酒店 Casa Real Hotel (4*):
Double Elite at RM420 via agoda.com
5 mins drive from the ferry terminal & 5 mins walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf,
narrower than expected, good facilities & comfy bed ^^, check-in check-out process' slow (the receptionist made us waited for 20 mins to clear up one of the room)
!!Bubblethoughts!!
Good enough for me to rejuvenate the exhausted body & mind before I could really enjoy the rest of the trip!! (",) 've been a dizzy-blurry-zombie from the past 1-2 weeks until the 2nd day of the trip!

A very good chance for one to think: How much is enough? How big is sufficient? What IF you were to stay in this limited space, like say, EVERYday?? (I really don't want to imagine!!!)
Spent warm time reminiscing the smallkidyears in our humble little hut too, with Paddy's trademark Winter JOKES...
DisneyLand Hotel, Hong Kong DisneyLand:
Garden View at RM900 via Travel Agent
!!Bubblethoughts!!
We decided on a roller-coaster arragement for the accomodation, balancing up the budget consideration and needs: first night was important to recharge while last night was meaningful to draw a magical end. It's awesome!! v(^^)v
**Bubble Tips**
HKD, MOP & RMB are widely accepted in Macau.
The rate differs slightly (not much difference if it's just for fun, food & laughter)!!
When we travelled, it's RMB > HKD > MOP. Thus, it's wiser to finish up the MOP first.
Not the other way round though, my MOP was rejected even on the ferry from Macao to Hong Kong.
Endnote: Go Go Ssing or 고고씽means Let's Go!
It's a trendy phrase (潮語) APPARENTLY, popular among the Hallyu fans. Yay, Shu Chai challenged my Korean proficiency for being not familliar with that phrase. Excuse me, it's a matter of "generation gap" ok~ㅋㅋㅋ Well, I do need to brush up seriously, especially with these new phrases that these kiddo are creating DAILY...
